I started out with C#, but later moved on to Java a few months later. It finally clicked after reading: Thinking in Java:The definitive Introduction to Object Oriented Programming by Bruce Eckel. I feel that he, rather than teaching you pure java, he teaches you the philosophy behind what you are doing and why thereby teaching you java better than any other book I've read. Other than that, I Strongly recommend not just reading the book, but actively rewritting the program examples that are in the book. Furthermore, downloading the java documentation off the oracle website is a bit help.
Good luck!
