Doing the exercises has been invaluable to me. So, I would recommend Graham's book for those who are beginning with CL. However, had I only used Graham's book I may have become bored with the simple examples, since I am not a beginner at programming generally.</div><div><br></div><div>I also have the books listed below, either in hardcopy or digital form. Should I also consider looking at <i>The Little Schemer</i> and related works? What about Doug Hoyte's book?</div><div><br></div><div>I recognize that a surfeit of textbooks does not guaranty progress. Rest assured that I am actually programming in CL too.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Basic Lisp Techniques</i> (Cooper)</div><div><i>Common Lisp An Interactive Approach </i>(Shapiro)</div><div><i>Common Lisp A Gentle Approach to Symbolic Computation </i>(Touretzky)</div><div><i>On Lisp</i> (Graham)</div><div><i>Successful Lisp</i> (Lamkins)</div><div><i>Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs</i></div><div><i>Lisp in Small Pieces</i> (Queinnec)</div><div><i>The Art of the Metaobject Protocol</i> (Kiczales et al)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>- Dave -</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
