For someone who has rarely if ever programmed (or just done basic HTML/CSS) I recommend Eloquent JavaScript. For experienced programmers or someone who has been hacking JS on their own for a while, but wants to improve, I recommend The Good Parts.

You can learn a lot from both, but they are aimed at different audiences, IMO.
