I think it’s a great second book. For a first I’ve always recommended Practical Common Lisp. I don’t know if that recommendation is still up to date.

- zeveb 8y agoYeah, that's an excellent — and modern — guide.
- js8 8y agoI would recommend it to a Lisp enthusiast as a third after On Lisp. That's how I read it, anyway. Many things in LOL are quite opinionated. I don't think it's a distillation of knowledge (like On Lisp), but rather an exploration how far you can take some things (macros).
