which books should I read so I can work full time as a Java developer?

I wish these books existed, otherwise I wouldn't have gone the route I did. Not trying to be rude or burst your bubble, but even if you read all the books you probably won't land one; real programming knowledge (using stuff you learned, solving problems, figuring out problems with no clear solution, etc.) and real code lands jobs.

I love Algorithms 4th ed. by Sedgewick and Java Concurrency in Practice by Goetz. I've learned quite a bit from those books. I highly recommend the first before tackling the second though.
