There are many such books nowadays but my favourite is probably Basic Algebraic Geometry, volume 1 by Shafarevich, a great Russian geometer.Another suggestion is Milne's excellent lecture notes, which you can legally and freely download from the Internet.The most elementary introduction to algebraic geometry is Miles Reid's aptly named Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry, of which you can read the first chapter here .Miles Reid ends his book with a most interesting and opinionated postface on the recent history and sociology of algebraic geometry: it is extremely profound and funny at the same time, in the best tradition of English humour.

Detailed recommendations to start can be found in this analogue question or this other one (UPDATE: this recent long answer details a learning path from HS mathematics to advanced algebraic geometry), may be useful to you. I think the best route is firstly get a classical background on algebraic geometry (and any geometry in general) with the wonderful book by Beltrametti et al. - "Lectures on Curves, Surfaces and Projective Varieties", which serves as the most traditionally flavored detailed introduction for Hartshorne's chapter I, but done rigorously and with a modern style (proof of Riemann-Roch without mentioning cohomology!). This can be accompanied by the first half of the wonderful new title by Holme - "A Royal Road to Algebraic Geometry", where a beautiful treatment of curves and varieties is introduced in a very pedagogic way, and whose second half introduces the categorical formulation of schemes and sheaf cohomology and serves as an aperitif for Hartshorne's hardest chapters. Follow some of the rest of recomendations at the other answers, and patience and dedication will lead you to master Hartshorne. The main hard work you will need to do is a good mastery of commutative algebra; for a great thorough treatment of abstract algebra, I would recommend Rotman - "Advanced Modern Algebra" which is really nice for self-learning (but 1000 pages long!) and treats much of the background you need, to be supplemented with parts of Atiyah/MacDonald - Introduction to Commutative Algebra (you may start getting your algebraic background with Reid - "Undergraduate Commutative Algebra") or with the new Singh - "Basic Commutative Algebra" (Einsenbud's big book is a standard for many people as algebraic background for Hartshorne, but I see Atiyah/MacDonald+Sigh a more concise, more complete formal approach). For a full lists of references on classic algebraic geometry (curves and varieties) and modern (schemes and beyond), I have compiled two detailed lists at Amazon: Definitive Collection: Classical Algebraic Geometry and Definitive Collection: Abstract Algebraic Geometry. 2ff7e9595c
