I tried getting into Lisp multiple times. Scheme was definitely the easiest way to get it to click with my brain that was used to C-like languages. If you want something more in depth, I also highly recommend SICP. There are a set of old lectures online on YouTube and MIT OCW, plus the SICP textbook is available for free online.

But indeed, when it comes to looking at a prewritten statement in lisp, it is very easy to grok. For this reason I will always choose Guix over Nix for my declarative OS statements, simply because it's so easy to extend the statement just from knowing a basic lisp structure.
