      Land of Lisp is fun, and the video is a must![0]; I also really like Norvig's PAIP (Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, available for free now on GitHub[1]). PAIP shows ways of programming in Lisp that really are unlike what I've seen in most other languages. Lately I have been working the Exercism exercises and there are over 80 Common Lisp problems, with more problems being added over time (my hope is to finish what's there and then help by adding some more).

    2. @flavio81Aug 2017· in “Answers from 2017 Common Lisp experts”

      > Compared to Symbolics CL looks like a mess at least from reading the books. Which books, may I know? The Common Lisp Hyperspec is one of the best reference manuals for a programming language, ever. But it is not a tutorial nor a how-to guide! Try "Pratical Common Lisp". Or "Land of Lisp" if you want to have lots of fun. simple but refined, guaranteed to blow your mind... this video

      Barski's music video[1] might give some more flavor to PG's comment. Brightens my day every time I watch it. [1] this video

      The Land of Lisp this video (but I'd argue it wasn't until InterLISP and Smalltalk that all the pieces were there)

      More than decade ago, I didn't understand an actual value of Lisp, but I remember this song well. this video
