Honestly I'd recommend TDPL. It's got a lot of good real-world 
examples, including some OOP ones, but more importantly examples 
that demonstrate concurrent programming, generic programming, 
procedural, and I think a few functional examples as well. 
Basically, it covers a very broad area in one book while also 
teaching you D.
