If you have read all the other books "completely", you are not ready for LiSP. It's one of the most demanding Lisp books out there. It took me a year just to grok the chapter on denotational semantics of Lisp. Quinnec is a PL insider and writes[1] for a crowd of his peers. CQ's style is not mainstream lisp style by the way, he is an academic and the books finds it hard to shake that. -- [1] LiSP wasn't "written", but collected from his lectures and other publications. You can assemble it yourself from the Quinnec papers, though you will be missing a lot of the style.
