I LOOOOOOOVE Eloquent Ruby - Russ Olsen's writing style is so awesome.
Design Patterns in Ruby is just as enjoyable.
I have never heard of POODR before...but given that so many people are listing it in the same "top list" as Eloquent Ruby - I am definitely gonna get it.
Hartl's tutorial was a bit much for me. I don't think when I was just learning Rails, to be thrown into TDD was wayy too much and made it much less enjoyable.
I think if there was a "no-TDD" path, it would have been better....or maybe some way to explain the TDD aspect more clearly.
