While I don't think it is a very good book, you should probably get 
"Programming Ruby 2d edition" because I think it may be the best there 
is.  The first part of the book is a tutorial, and the second part of 
the book is a Ruby reference, which you definitely need because the Ruby 
docs are so bad.

As a back up book/reference, you might want to try "The Ruby Way (2nd 
ed)".
