recommend an advanced java book

[steven acer]

hello,
i'm not that new to java because i know all the concepts and all
but i have reached a point where i need to move forward, so i feel i
need a good book -a bit advanced not too much- to progress.
I don't have my mind set on a specific aspect of java , i know java is
a huge world, what i'm looking for is an all in all book , maybe later
i can focus on one topic at a time.
thanks,
Merry Christmas to y'all

Are you sure that you need a Java book ?

In my experience, when people are capable of writing a
Java program that compiles and solves the problem but
are interested in finding the best solution, then they
do not need a Java book but instead need a book in
general OO A/D/P and patterns.
