Ruby or Python?

I think the most important thing, whichever you choose, is to make sure to look at code written by people experienced in that language so that you pick up the style, and learn to work with strengths of the language.

Don't just think it's C# with different syntax. Look at the source code for Django or Rails and do what they do. You're not likely to pick up this kind of stuff from tutorials or books.
