In all honesty, read through _why's (poignant) guide to ruby first to understand the basics of Ruby and read some cool comics along the way.

Once you're happy you've got a good footing in Ruby (will only take an afternoon+evening to read and try the examples) you can go for one of the many "Rails" books that are likely to be recommended here.
