Ruby on Rails & Ruby

I'm learning Ruby and just finished setting up a Ruby on Rails webserver. It was very easy, now all I have to do is get the application configured and working. The two books I'm reading right now are Pragmatic Programmers Bookshelf: Learning to Program, version 2 by Chris Pine and Ruby Visual Quickstart Guide. The Prag Prog book is a entry level programming book and easy/fun to read while the Quickstart is a little more advanced (I downloaded the Kindle version to my iPod Touch) and had the section I used to start Ruby on Rails. I think I may buy a another Prag Prog book if I could only find out which one to buy next.
