This one is slightly outdated, but still works. Head first java is one of the best beginner books.

I recommend Head First Java also, I am reading it right now and it is by far the best book to start with in my opinion. Also google is your friend, whenever you have a question about something in Java make sure you ask google. Many times I have found a solution to my problem in google much faster than if I had waited for someone to respond in the forums.

I recommend you to read The Complete Reference Java
is the best book for beginner.
