The good news is, if you're doing Ruby in order to do Rails, there is such a thing.

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book (Include every section labeled optional)

For general Ruby though, less so. I've heard good things about http://tryruby.org/, and I liked the Pickaxe book (though I didn't love it).



For Rails, I'd recommend, in this order

1. Agile Web Development with Rails 2. The Rails Way

I've heard good things about "Beginning Rails 3", but I haven't read it myself, I'd pop that up to the top of the list if Agile Web Development with Rails isn't working for you.
