Hi Martin,
I had read HF software development and I believe that would be more suitable for your requirement (i.e, to carry with you for a holiday) compared to others. Servlets & JSP, Design Patterns would be better read sitting before a computer as you might have to try lots of examples for better understanding of the concepts.
And the concepts discussed in these 4 books do not have any dependency on one another. So, you can read them in any order depending on what kind of knowledge you want to gain first.
