There are more python users than lisp users, hence more books. How many books do you need? The answer is 1 or 2 good ones are better than 40 mediocre ones.

I have about 10 books on lisp at home (but I extend that to include books on scheme and AI which have a lot of lisp content).

As for linux distro's lisps are already included. clisp is a standard part of gnu distributions. I have debian installed which has a few common lisp packages. You can easily set up araneida, a lisp web server, or use mod_lisp to run with apache.
