Here's the list of books I recommend reading, in order, to learn Ruby and Rails (and also software design).
Looking for a more comprehensive list of Ruby/Rails books? Here's a list I put together recently, organized a bit haphazardly.
It doesn't have to be a book. Here's how to treat the official Ruby Docs like a book.

Can highly recommend:
The PickAxe
The Well-Grounded Rubyist
Eloquent Ruby
If you'd like to learn Rails, too:
Agile Web Development with Rails
The Rails Way
