why was "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" book excluded from the listing?. What criteria made the final list?

We haven't read it so we didn't feel we could recommend it. But it's absolutely among the books that might end up on the list. :)

How about throwing on a "Reading Wishlist" on the site then?

I'm half in this book and it's pretty good. On my top 5 now.
