Which book to choose?

Hello,

I have done some programming with GW-BASIC and Borland Turbo Pascal
during school. I don't know C or C++. Now I have to learn Java for a
course, and I have short-listed  three books from the local library.
Can anyone give me some advice or thoughts on which one to start with?
Suggestions for any other beginning Java book will also be greatly
appreciated.

Sams Teach Yourself Java In 21 Days by Laura Lemay, Charles L. Perkins
and Michael Morrison. ISBN 1-57521-183-1.

Thinking In Java (3rd Ed.) by Bruce Eckel ISBN 0-13-027363-5.

Java How To Program (4th Ed.) by Deitel & Deitel.

Or should I start with the online Java tutorials at <http://
java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/>?

Thanks for any help.
