Bradley,

I have two favorites that seem to leave all others in the dust.  The first
is Thinking In Java by Bruce Eckel.  It's a great book not only because of
the clean clear way it presents Java but also because Bruce teaches good OOD
practices.  You can take a look at the full text of the book at
http://www.bruceeckel.com.  --Yes you can download the whole book if you
really want to. See http://www.bruceeckel.com/javabook.html

The other book, once you know what you are doing, is a necessity.  Core Java
by Horstmann and Cornell.  It assumes that you know the language and
explains some of the harder things clearly.  I couldn't live without it.  It
is now in two volumes and I would recommend that you get both.
