If you want to learn Lua, Ierusalimschy's _Programming in Lua_ (http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/ http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/) is by far the best book. Lua is one of my favorite languages. While it's good on its own, you'll get a lot more out of it if you're comfortable with C. Lua+C is an excellent combination.

And while we're passing around links to papers, I've found the following the be good for additional insight: Lua Performance Tips: (http://www.lua.org/gems/sample.pdf http://www.lua.org/gems/sample.pdf) A No-Frills Introduction to Lua 5.1 VM Instructions: (http://luaforge.net/docman/view.php/83/98/ANoFrillsIntroToLua51VMInstructions.pdf http://luaforge.net/docman/view.php/83/98/ANoFrillsIntroToLu...)
