I had my enjoyment of reading some well written JavaScript books such as the "Rhino book" (https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Definitive-Guide-Activate-...) and Pro JavaScript Techniques by John Resig (https://www.amazon.com/Pro-JavaScript-Techniques-John-Paxton...). They really help you think in JavaScript just like K&R helps you think in C.
