I second SICP. Mainly because Matz designed it against scheme:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/179642

"So, Ruby was a Lisp originally, in theory.
Let's call it MatzLisp from now on. ;-)"
-matz.

If the op is interested in languages that are related to ruby for
grokking ruby I would also suggest reading

The UNIX Programming Environment - Kernighan/Pike
Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation - The "Blue book"
The C Programming Language aka K&R - Kernighan/Ritchie

If you looking to read a book with ruby as the main subject
Meta-Programming Ruby still explains the object model better than most
books on the market.

If your looking for less theoretical computer science and engineering
stuff take a look at: http://ruby.bastardsbook.com/

That seems to have a hodgepodge of information which may be useful for
web project centered pedagogy while learning the language.

Good luck with your learning and hacking!
