Don't restrict yourself to books.  There are many excellent online
tutorials.

For example, I started out with these two:

http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

http://www.scribd.com/doc/8545174/Whys-Poignant-Guide-to-Ruby
http://www.ember.co.nz/resources/whys-poignant-guide-to-ruby/


Also, Ruby is an excellent beginner's language.. you'll do well with it.
