book suggestion for atypical beginner

[Ananda Stevens]

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for a book that would suit me. I 
find books that assume no programming knowledge to be slow-moving and 
often boring. But the next step up seems to be the type of book that 
assumes proficiency with one or more other languages. I've got some 
familiarity with other languages -- I've had to learn to read simple 
C/C++, Java, and assembly language code (movl.org, anyone?) -- but no 
significant experience doing programming.

So...what book(s) would you suggest for the relative newbie with a clue?
