Thinking in C++ Vol 1 and 2 (free legal eBook)

Non language specific programming books:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Code Complete

These are usually the books that get recommended on GameDev whenever someone asks.

From experience, I can suggest that you don't rely on a Primer to learn. Yes, they're absolutely stuffed with Cpp knowledge, but it's far too much to try and learn and understand when you're still beginning. I'm not sure if you're still beginning though, you didn't mention it. For me, and for many others, Primers tend to be a great reference book, but if you want something that you can work through, try something much smaller. Actually, some people like to stay away from the books that promise too much ("Learn more than Stroustrup in 24 Hours") because they tend to kind graze over too much without explaining the details that are necessary to advance.

Anyways, I have 2 smaller books that I found to be very useful and fun to read:
This book walks you through some basics all the way up to inheritence and polymorphism while providing concrete examples (game examples) for everything.
Beginning Cpp Through Game Programming"

This book is excellent in my opinion. It doesn't teach you any code, but it teaches you when to use what code for particular pieces of a game, and why. If you've got enough under your belt to start making some games but you find yourself running into design issues or non-code problems, this book is for you
Cpp For Game Programmers

Obviously these are game programming books, not generic Cpp books, so they might not be offered at your University, or they might not even be what you're interested in, but I thought I'd let you know anyways. Good luck!

Yup this list has pretty much all the books you need to learn C++ decently and the way it's supposed to be used.
The only one I would probably change is the first book if you are totally new to programming I would recommend the Dawson book instead or some other total newbie books I've read are "C++ without fear" or "You can do it!".
Horton books are technically correct and easy to read but he teaches C++ as a better C which isn't the recommened way to use it.

p.s. If you see any books with programs that start with void main() or avoid use old char arrays or arrays in general instead of vector and string classes run away as fast as you can!
