You are not the only person to recommend that text.  Jamie Zawinski of

a book, but I'm having to limit myself these days.

I've attempted to learn Lisp a few times, but I believe I have a fairly
strong immunity to the language.  You've persuaded me to have another go at
it.  I'll thank you later.  ;)


You won't regret investing in the book. For the mathematical minded it
is a sure buy.
