These top Java programming books are very good Java books and I would say best of lot. Whenever a programmer starts learning Java first question he ask is "Which Java books should I refer for learning?", That itself says, how important Java books are for programmers. Despite so much free resource available in Java in terms of tutorials, tips, blogs and code example, Java books has there own place because of two reason :
1) They are written by programmers who are authority in subject
2)They cover the subject with more details and explanation.
These Java books are my personal favorites and whenever I get some time I prefer to read them, though I have read many of them already, I always learn something new when I read them again. They are kind of best Java books available today.
