Atiyah-Macdonald is a small but dense book with most of the commutative algebra you'll need to start learning algebraic geometry. You'll need to know some abstract algebra as a prerequisite (groups, rings, fields; covered in undergraduate algebra courses).

A less dense book for commutative algebra is Miles Reid's Undergraduate Commutative Algebra, but it doesn't cover tensor product of modules which will definitely be needed for algebraic geometry. Also for everyone interested in Atiyah-Macdonald you MUST do the exercises, half of the book is in the exercises!
