Best book for learning C# and OOP ground up

I own a lot of books on C#. When I say this, literally I'm talking around 7 or more books. By far, this is the best if you want to learn the C# language ground up, especially OOP.

I was at the bookstore on day, opened this book, and after reading 2 pages, I could tell this was a must have. Since then, I've used this book every day at work for a public .com website which serves millions of users. There are so many times I've had one of those "Oh, so that's really what that meant", that this book has paid itself time and time again. You think to yourself as you look at MSDN, what the hell did all that jargon really mean that Microsoft just babbled about in the C# core language? You then read this book and can finally stop pounding your head against the wall when trying to learn OOP. I wasn't born a genius as many of us aren't ;)...lets all be honest, you know how much you bang your head every day on the simple stuff, even as an advanced programmer...don't lie.

So, with that, this book is an absolute must for any programmer, even the most advanced. I have never seen a book so compact that has blown me away and really made me understand the language like this one.

Do not miss this one, if you need to brush up or get up to speed with C# quickly due to the nature of your job... or even forget the minor details as an advanced programmer sometimes; this is a must have in your arsenal.
