Hello folks,

As a beginner in Java, I have read the Head First Java book, followed by the Java SE 1.6 tutorials/documentation on the Oracle website.

However, I would want to learn Java at a greater depth to have a better understanding about JVM and Java overall.

Can anyone suggest me a good book / books to read ?

I eventually plan to take up the Sun certification.

Thank you to everyone who reads this and responds.

Horstmann and Cornell is a favourite of mine, though my copy is a bit old now (2005).
Java Puzzlers by Bloch and Gafter
Effective Java by Bloch
Java Concurrency in Practice by Goetz, Bloch, etc.
Have you tried our book review pages?

Thank you Mr. Ritchie. I was reading through the other posts on this thread. The page which you suggested has very good information. Thank you very much.
