Exclamation Game Programming

Anyone know of a good book that might help me start on game programming?

So I was working on a values problem with an investment policy the other day when all the sudden I decided that I hate my job. I've always wanted to work in the video game industry, but since things hasn't turned out as I wanted, I figured I'll make game programming a hobby.

Sorry I can't be more specific in my question. As I mentioned, I come from Financial programming background and have no experience with game programming. That's why I need a book to point me in the right direction. I hear a lot of talk about DirectX and OpenGL but I'm not sure which one to start with. I'm familiar with Java but I prefer a book that focus on either C/C++ and C# because I actually have experience in these.
