APress Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform by Andrew Troelsen is the single best book I've read to quickly get into the language. It suggests concise relevant examples and code samples for the reader to try, and I recommend following them. It's a 1700 page book - very exhaustive and reasonably priced for the amount of content.
