You might also find interesting the two volumes by Bruce Eckel ( if you
don't know them already ):

http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html

the first volume could be the least interesting for you, but the second
one contains a lot of wisdom. Also the Effective C++, More Effective C++
and Effective STL books by the "Man with a Dog" (Scott Meyers), contain
also substantial wisdom. 

To round-up your STL knowledge, the doxygenated gnu's libstdc++
documentation is, in my opinion, the most practical STL reference
around. You can find it here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-3.3/index.html

And  when you reach the "trascending" state you might want to peek
Andrei Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design". You won't believe your eyes
when you see the code snippets.
