For years I have built sites using jquery, without really understanding js natively (the way I do with html and css). I used plugins, did my best to make them work to my needs, and asked for help if I got stuck. Over the last year or so I've realized this doesn't cut it anymore and have been reading all the same books as you and trying to get myself to the point where Im writing js from scratch, but also not really getting anywhere. My head is permabruised from all the banging!
Am off to get a copy of JavaScript Enlightenment, big thanks for writing about it!
