What you say makes sense, but getting Bloch early has an advantage. I suggest getting Bloch right away, because he teaches idioms and other things that will keep you out of trouble. It is better to learn good habits from the start rather than unlearn bad ones later. This is not to say you should attempt to learn the Java language itself from /Effective Java/. You should use it in conjunction with the tutorials and other sources to learn to use Java effectively. -- Lew
