[regarding "The Little Schemer"]:
It's repetitive but honestly I found that the comedic writing made the
exercises very entertaining. I was rarely bored.  I don't play the
piano, but I do play drums, and the equivalent to Hanon's finger
exercises is an old book called Stick Control, which is definitely in
the boring as hell category! I'm glad that Lisp beginners have
something more fun available. :)

And on this topic, I'm currently reading 'The Reasoned Schemer,' written
in the same style.   The style gets the stuff into my head w/o resorting to
trying out problems on the computer (yet).

I have also read
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
The Scheme Programming Language
