Practical Common Lisp[0] remains the near-standard text, I believe. It's amazingly good, and shows how useful it can be to develop one's own syntactic abstractions with the practical example of an MP3 ID3 parsing system. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Peter Seibel's second book Coders at Work is also excellent.

- wglb 9y agoI agree about both. What I liked about Coders at Work are some of the questions he asked the folks. 1) Do you like/program in C++ 2) Have you read TAoCP? Knuth (interviewed last) claimed that he hadn't really read it. And only one person interviewed did. Oh, also, there seemed to be a general disdain for IDEs.
