I've recently read Concurrent Programming in Java
(http://g.oswego.edu/dl/cpj/), which was billed as a "I thought I
understood Java threads until I read this book" kind of thing. It's
actually quite interesting as a discussion of threading and how bad a
model it is for doing anything useful concurrently. Read it and weep.
