Paul Graham's ANSI Common Lisp will get an advanced programmer up to an advanced level more quickly and efficiently.

- mrottenkolber 12y agoI'd say both are essential, but PCL should be digested first (no need to read every paragraph). On Lisp is IMHO a lambda power user guide and not a good general introduction to CL.
- nemoniac 12y agoNote that I recommended the book "ANSI Common Lisp" for an advanced (non Lisp) programmer, not "On Lisp". That aside, I agree with your description of On Lisp.
