"Ada as a Second Language" is also my favourite book. There are many 
useful comparisons with other languages, stressing both similarities (to 
get the ideas faster) and differences (to avoid programming habits not 
suitable for Ada). Perfect book if you already know a few languages.

Now I am waiting for Ada 2005 version of the book.
