Consider Core Java Volume IFundamentals by Cay S. Horstmann.
“Reading feels methodical and detail-first: chapters cover syntax, the standard library, and SE 9–11 changes with careful, code-centered examples that assume prior programming fluency. The best parts are clear explanations of tricky corners (generics, concurrency, module-related adjustments) and compact sample code you can adapt. The book's limiting side is its manual-like stretches—long reference passages and few guided, end-to-end projects—so people who learn by building may find momentum stalls.”
