You've got to be careful here. The vast majority of books on Javascript are terrible and will actually make you a worse programmer if you follow them. Better to stick with Javascript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan, Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford, and maybe Pro Javascript Techniques by John Resig, especially if you decide to use jQuery.
