I've always been a fan of the Head First series. They are just not boring books. It's not just text and "interesting" pictures and examples, they go crazy. I remember fixing an error in the program that sang "99 bottles of beer on the wall." They've done Java, Design Patterns, Servlets & JSP, and EJB and now, HTML.
