If you're looking for a book that is fun to read and very approachable "The Little Schemer" would be a good choice. The book teaches some pretty important concepts. Also, it has the benefit of not assuming that the reader knows much at all about either mathematics or computers. However, the book is also not very practical. It will certainly help you think more clearly about programming, but it's more akin to a very long brain teaser than an actual programming tutorial. Another approach might be a book that focuses on making simple games rather than doing math. The Land of Lisp[1] might be a fun place to start. I haven't read it personally, but it might be worth a look. [1] http://landoflisp.com/ http://landoflisp.com/
