"Wicked Cool Java" by Brian Eubanks, No Starch Press
The number of unusual topics presented by the author makes this an interesting book.
I especially enjoyed the chapter on String Utilities and the application to XML parsing, in the chapter that follows strings. There are also some cool API’s for graphical applications, sounds and music.
