What is a good text in intermediate set theory?

I need a good book about Set Theory. As I was searching online I came across "Set Theory - Kenneth Kunen" which seems to be one of the bests. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Should I be concerned about reading something which is written recently or old texts are also good?

    *Set Theory with Applications* by **T.Lin and F.Lin** is an old one but is a good for start.2012-02-17

    Depending on your background, you might first consider going through the very good *Naive Set Theory*, by Halmos.2012-02-17

    @André: I don’t much care for Halmos: it’s a bit too old-fashioned. My recommendation for a serious beginner is Hrbacek & Jech, [Introduction to Set Theory](http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Revised-Expanded-Chapman-Mathematics/dp/0824779150).2012-02-17
