The O'Reilly Head First series is a good place to start as well. They
get you moving pretty quickly:

Also, this is a good book on making UML useful (bringing it to ground
for the developer). It recommends some books as well. I like the way
Martin Fowler approaches things as well.

Bottom line, all of these books are about making OO useful.
Good luck!
