Java 2 is the latest version of Java so buy that one...
Both the ASP.Net books are good. (Wrox is a more revered brand.)

For HTML and CSS, I use-
Wrox Beginning CSS for Web Design,
and Wrox Professional CSS for Web Design.
Wrox Javascript books are also really gud.

and Ivan Bayross sucks

Hey dude if money is a problem you should check your local library for these books. My university had all the ones I wanted to read up on and then some.
