Check out the "Rational for the Design of the Ada prog lang". I really like it.
You start thinking about some language issue, and then look
in the book and it goes into the history of that same language
issue; how it has been done, and why Ada did it their way.
The Rational is also written very clearly. 

Its still not the end all manual but it fills in the void that the LRM
and any other book leaves out.
