These are all excellent books, and for those who really want to grok Ruby,  the Poignant Guide is excellent. But for somebody who is brand new to Ruby, and to programming in general, I'd still recommend Ullman's Ruby: Visual Quickstart Guide as a really good place to start. It does things like walking you through installing Ruby, for example.
