agreed.

Also check out 'Pro Javacsript Techniques' by John Resig.

Read this article on closures which is the best description I have read of such a crucial crucial aspect of the language: http://jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/closures.html

Also read Crockford: http://javascript.crockford.com/

John Resig's book is great. (He's the dude behind the jQuery library, and also a YC alum, FYI.)

I'd recommend that, and of course the Definitive Guide. Look for the Rhino.
