Give Underhanded JavaScript a try then. It teaches you how to be an arsehole JS developer :P - published today too (http://leanpub.com/underhandedjavascript/c/NackerHews)

The book is laid out by logical topics (on how to purposely write bad/underhanded code, followed by explanation on why/how they work) instead of keywords (such as IIFEs, automatic semicolon insertion, function calls etc)

disclaimer: I wrote it

EDIT: I skimmed through Speaking JavaScript. It's a bloody good book, much better than mine. You probably should read that

One more EDIT:

Since there was another thread which I gave a coupon for HNers, here's the link:

This book is too expensive. I would only buy it if I saw a physical copy and judged a few pages funny.
