Books about digital electronics and FPGA development that I like

You end up coding in VHDL (or Verilog) for this stuff. This book is great for learning the language:

This one is great if you are an electronics newb (like me) and want to learn enough to do FPGA programming:

This last one is pretty expensive, but avoid the paperback version that is for sale on Amazon. It's a really poor printing (can't read a lot of the pages) that is made only for India and isn't supposed to be sold in the US.
