That recent thread linked had lots of good stuff. For me it was the Practical Common Lisp [1] and Land of Lisp [2] books. I like starting with a book and articles, but then need a project to work on to really learn it and experience the language. I will now make some quick scripts with Lisp since it is so easy to write it as you figure it out in a REPL, and a big project has been a text-based game engine using CEPL [3]. For me the power was really just in trying it out, seeing the joy of using a REPL and that everything is code. The development process is just better and more fun.
