I read PCL about seven or eight years ago when I didn't have a lot of experience with programming. It's somewhat dense and some of the topics/chapters may not be absolutely necessary for a beginner to write Lisp programs. But in retrospect, I sometimes find it good reference when I want to brush up certain topics, like CLOS and macro stuffs.
