I agree with all of these. I personally feel I got the most out of the Pragmatic Programmer (even though it has very little to do with OO specifically), Design Patterns Explained, Head First OO Analysis and Design, and of course the original Design Patterns book.
Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" is a very good catalog of patterns but, similar to the original GoF patterns book, is much more of a catalog and less of a "how-to".
