Another good book (and one of the few that I've actually read cover-to-cover) is "Beginning Java Objects" by WROX. The book is nicely split into three parts all discussion a single sample application (so your mind doesn't need to assimilate new concepts AND new example frameworks every few pages).
The first explains pretty much all of the concepts of OO programming with VERY little Java (in other words it's completely applicable to just about any OO interest). The second part covers the design and architecture aspects of OO using UML - again very little Java here, but a lot of good information on how to think in OO and get that information documented. Finally the last part actually covers how you'd build the application itself using Java. This can be skipped if you have no interest in Java at all, but I found it useful. Damn good book.
