I think this is a great book to read if you want to understand
how "2nd generation" lisp programmers think and work. You might
recall this is the same book recommended by Tim Daly Jr a few
weeks ago. After learning that the author of this book, Peter
Seibel, was another 2nd generation lisp programmer who had
started out "hacking perl" I just couldn't resist buying the
printed version. :)

Seibel recommends that you start here:
