@spook@pleroma.m68k.church You might enjoy _The Little Lisper_ or it's more recent variant _The Little Schemer_. They're short, and aren't going to help you much with practical programming tasks, but the initial chapters do work you through the basics quite quickly, and near the end to work up to Also, it's a *long* time since I've read Paul Graham's _On Lisp_ (since before it's been clear that Graham is a wanna-be tech bro), but it gives a good introduction to lisp macros, which are perhaps the part of the language that most defines lisp and the lisp "style". Neither of these are going to teach you how to get useful stuff down now with a real lisp implementation, though, so if that's your goal, there are almost certainly better sources.
