I've been reading a lot of forums discussing which books one recommends to learn C++, and have yet to see Bjarne's book Programming in any of the lists. Any thoughts on this book?

Have you thought about "Bjarne Stroustrup- Programming Principles and Practice Using C++" ?
I think that only mr. Stroustrup can best teach programmers of C++.

He has writen more than one book, but I assume you mean The C++ Programming Language. It was the definitive book on the C++ programming language before standardisation and is still one of the best C++ books around. But it does have the tendency to mention terms before they've been described making it a bit tricky for complete beginners. I think it's an excellent reference book and pulls together you really need to know. Other really good books just suppliment and elaborate areas that are introduced in this book.

It is a good book for total beginners in programming.
