I am grasping Java pretty well I guess, but a lot of time I forget certain methods, etc ... Does anyone know of a good well layed out and not too bulky reference book for Java?

The documentation of all classes, interfaces, methods etc. in the standard API is available online: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/ (this is for Java version 1.5).

You can also download the API documentation so that you can have is locally on your harddisk, see the download page, scroll down a bit to "J2SE 5.0 Documentation", click on the Download button.

If you want it in a book, then there are ofcourse lots of Java books available, for example Java in a Nutshell.
