Unfortunately,I cannot recommend anything other than the only book I've used: Jay Horstman's Computing Concepts with Java Essentials. You can find it on Amazon here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Computing-Concepts-Java-Essentials-Horstmann/dp/0471469009/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361401802&sr=8-1&keywords=Java+computing+essentials">http://www.amazon.com/Computing-Concept ... essentials</a><!-- m -->
It has a lot of information about basic Java functions, graphics, Swing interaction, etc. It is great for someone who is new to Java.
Other than that, I can only recommend experimentation. The best way to learn is through self-intellectual fulfillment. If you ever need any help with certain commands, the official Java documentation can be found here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/">http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/</a><!-- m -->
If you're 19 you are not too old to start learning about programming. It's never too late to try something new. Just focus and stay determined and you'll be able to accomplish anything!
