Can you recommend any books to help me understand java better from a true beginner to code?

Hello, I drive 9 hours a day and can listen to audio books during this time. Can you recommend any? I've been through this course 3 times and I just cannot seem to memorize what the lines of code mean. Thanks

You can use deitel's "Java How to Program". In my opinion it is a good starting point.
