"Effective Java" is IMO a goldmine. Also "Java Generics & Collections"
and "Java Concurrency in Practice".

The free chapter of /Effective Java/ (You hear that, Rhino? Free!)
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/toc.html>
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/generics.pdf>

is the best explanation of Java generics I've encountered, save perhaps for
Brian Goetz's articles on DeveloperWorks, also free. (You hear that, Rhino?
Free!)
