Does anyone have any good books they can suggest for learning OpenGL?

Not sure of books off the top of my head, but I learnt a lot from http://nehe.gamedev.net/, which has a lot of learning resources, including some great tutorials

The red book: http://www.glprogramming.com/red/
The blue book: http://www.glprogramming.com/blue/

Combine those with NeHe (the previous post) and Google (if you get stuck) and you should be good to go.
