I've been a little too busy for my own good lately, but I just wanted to toss in

C is a good starting point from the aspect of syntax.  But two areas to avoid:

the design of the Java language (thanks, Sun!).

I then highly recommend the Design Patterns books.  They show in a non-Java
specific way how some of the basic ideas behind object programming.
