Ok, so after fucking around a bit I decided to start with Java rather than Python because Java will score me some jobs with very good pay. Question is though, what books should I read? I'm 18 and getting out of highschool soon so I have loads of free time

Disregard your earlier decision and study this as your employment bible.

Any benefit over Java? The third world shithole I live in aka Domincan Republic doesn't need C as far as I know, Java is really bad but if the companies want it we need to supply it

Everybody needs C. If you're really intent on learning Java though, check this one out.

Ok, tell you what anon. What if I learn both? I lose nothing but time
>>54609014
I'm in your situaton as well Op, except I've decided to make Python my first language. It's gonna be a fun summer.

Why aren't you having fun, hanging out with your girlfriend and getting ready for college?

Indeed, you'll lose nothing but time.
If you have the time, just learn both honestly.
