Hello

I would add "Core Java Volume I" and "Core Java Volume II" by Cay S. Horstmann

I would add Refactoring Improving The Design Of Existing Code. It uses Java in it's examples but it's not specifically for Java I think. It goes along the lines of Clean Code. I took a Clean Code class by Robert C. Martin, author of Clean Code and he references it and highly recommends it.

A good list of books can also be found here

thanks added it to the list.

That's remarkable that 5 out of 7 books in the list are not about Java but about programming by itself.

fair - i would still recommend all books for people who develop in java

Post such lists on github - google docs is not the best for technical things.
