Well you certainly _can_, including almost anything with an animal
cover that they've published in the last few years. The days when
O'Reillys could automatically be assumed to be worth reading were over
some time ago.

Fortunately the Head First series are a return to form (albeit a
slightly unusual heavily-tutorial form that doesn't even try to be an
ongoing reference). I've also heard good things about the recent ones
with coloured prints of animals as covers.
