Just finished reading Java Concurrency in Practise and I'd highly, highly recommend it. This book quickly scares you into thread-safety seriously! It contains a lot of information relating to Java's memory model that you're unlikely to pick up from the javadoc (without a lot of effort anyway) and is written really, really nicely. Definitely increased my appreciation for Java and for how well optimised the JVMs are nowadays.
