I recommend the rat book over the snake book as a better introduction to the
language.

For a better understanding of OO I recommend Bertrand Meyer's OOSC2 tome and
the Design Patterns book.  Most of the other OO books I've seen have been a
waste of paper.

Rat book: http://www.bestbookbuys.com/cgi-bin/bbb.cgi?ISBN=1565924649
OOSC2:    http://www.bestbookbuys.com/cgi-bin/bbb.cgi?ISBN=0136291554
Patterns: http://www.bestbookbuys.com/cgi-bin/bbb.cgi?ISBN=0201633612
