   And don't miss Sonja Keene's book "Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp" and Kiczales' "The Art of the Meta-Object Protocol". If you don't reach enlightenment after those, Libgen will refund your money.

   I think I'd recommend reading Sonya Keene's Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp: A Programmer's Guide to CLOS first though. I really don't know any other ways of learning all the things like method combinations and the like that make the MOP so powerful. All the CLOS tutorials I am aware of lack a real discussion of these features of CLOS.

   On Lisp. PAIP, Common Lisp Recipes, Practical Common Lisp, Lisp Style and Design, AMOP, Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp: A Programmer's Guide to CLOS, ...

   There are various Lisp books which go beyond the basic constructs.

   Operating Systems (3rd Edition), Deitel -- is an excellent way to fill in gaps in your understanding of the OS. Don't buy it new -- used copies can be found on amazon for less than $20.

   Learn a radically different programming language: Common Lisp.

   Seibel's Practical Common Lisp is a very good introduction -- Keene's Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp will give you a wildly different way of looking at OO -- The Art of the Metaobject Protocol will forever change any preconceived notions you might have regarding objects.

   I just finished reading Sonya Keene's Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp cover-to-cover. There is a lot of stuff in there that just can't be covered by a brief guide for sure, a lot of pretty useful stuff, knowledge of which would quite possibly cause one to structure one's program in a substantially different way, if one knew about it. I highly recommend reading it if you intend to use CLOS for anything serious, and poring over the extended case study implementing streams is useful too, tedious though it might be. There are, however, some things that got changed between the printing of the book and the finalization of CLOS as we see in CL today. We write a describe-object method instead of a describe method, for example, and there is no longer a with-added-methods special form.
