I'd say... go for 'Core Java' from Sun Mircosystems press. There are two versions of it--
1. Fundamentals and
2. Advanced Features.

This book will give you more concepts than any other book. Others are more focussed on applicabilities of the features that Java language have. This one will make you understand things at it's core level. Applications...you can find thousands of examples online online.

Complement the reading with Java's specification from java.sun.com. It's always good to learn the specification of the language if you really want to know the language thoroughly.

Goodluck for your Java experience.
