What books for learning Java?

Hi all,

I'm currently learning Java with a hope to build simple CRM systems and perform tasks like database interrogation, reading/writing to excel, reading/writing to CSV/XML and web automation with Selenium web driver.

The books i'm currently thinking of ordering are:

Learning Java by Patrick Niemeyer and Java How to Program: International Version by Harvey Deitel

Any others that are required reading or indeed any useful learning resources are welcome!

Introduction to Java Programming (Ninth Edition) Y. Daniel Liang. Is quite a good book to learn Java programming.
