I would start with 'Programming Ruby 1.9 The Pragmatic Programmers’ 
Guide' (2009).  I've used it (and its predecessor) more than any other 
Ruby book.

I also greatly enjoy "The Ruby Programming Language" (2008) by Flanagan 
and Matsumoto (an O'Reilly book).  I don't refer to it much when 
actually writing Ruby code, but I like just sitting down and reading it 
when I'm away from my computer.  It explains a lot of details about Ruby 
and I've learned a lot from it.
