I would like to recomend the the books Core JavaVolume 1 and 2 . A really good set of books that covers the most areas you'll need.
+1 to Core Java, Volume 1 and 2 By Horstmann. Really good book. One can actually read Head First Java and then come to this book for perfect understanding of the language
