Try also the Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++". It is also available on-line for free at http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html
I like the book because it explains the things very clearly. After reading it, one will stop to think and say that C++ is "only C with strange OO things on the top".
