I have been using Common Lisp professionally since 1982, and other Lisps before that. It has always been my language for thinking and experiments. If you are just starting, maybe you would be better off using Racket Scheme - it has a modern and rich ecosystem around it. If you do go with Common Lisp, you can grab a free copy of my book by setting the price to $0.00 https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp There are better introductory Common Lisp books, but mine has many fun example programs that you might enjoy if your technical interests overlap mine.
