If one is interested in Lisp macros, btw, a good (and quite readable) book that covers the subject is On Lisp [0], by Paul Graham. You can download it as a PDF from the author's site[1]. P.S. If you're looking for Lisp enlightenment experiences, actually read through the code snippets in the book -- spending a few minutes staring at 5 lines of macro code and then having understanding dawn on you will give you some of those experiences (at least in the small) :-) [0] http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html
