"Accelerated C++" by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo is pretty good and somewhat along the lines of K&R.

there should be a new version for "accelerated c++" hopefully soon,

i have sent koenig an email asking about this, and he replied, and said he will start working on a new version with barbara moo as soon as she finishes working on the new version of C++ Primer

I second this comment! Excellent book that will have you up and writing idiomatic C++ in no time.

I definitely found this an excellent read as well.
