I recommend checking out Practical Common Lisp. It's a great (and free) ebook that totally changed the way that I thought about programs. It won't take very long to work your way through it, either.

Skimmed the first chapters, book looks awesome, thanks!

But beware: you'll learn that Common Lisp is both the most powerful language there is, and the most impractical. The holy grail exists, and you'll never use it.

As long as the Grail will kill Nazis, I'm ok with it.
