I would say that Racket is by far the best Lisp to learn. It has the basically been founded to teach programming and it has been fleshed out into a very strong general purpose language.
Watch these videos on a quick overview of Racket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKjOTdVi99A&list=PLNm0vh7FGMys545h4jmaJ1tX8qo8kh9Dt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKjOTdVi99A&list=PLNm0vh7FGM...
You could program your pet project right afterwards. Also the documentation in Racket is better than any other community I have ever found. Clear, concise and uniform.
If I was to direct anyone into learning Racket I would say that 1) Realm of Racket is a great start for the language 2) How to Design Programs (Free online and a great resource)
Racket is just a great ecosystem that makes Deployment a piece of cake. I am a big polyglot but Racket has been my favorite find the past decade. Last time I got excited about a language was Python.
