I personally started with The Seasoned Schemer, but I would recommend starting with SICP instead. The best way to get into programming languages is learning different languages, play with them and write relatively complex applications in them. LISP and C are the most fundamental languages that will give the aha moments. In addition to those, I would learn Haskell and perhaps some object oriented language.
