    On Lisp rocks (I've not read ANSI Common Lisp), but as an intro book, Practical Common Lisp > On Lisp. IMO, at least. (I read On Lisp first, but PCL was what got me into CL.) Commented Nov 25, 2010 at 14:42

    My first introduction to Lisps were watching the famous Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. Then I watched Rich Hickey's Clojure for Java Programmers. I would recommend these videos as a good introduction. Commented Jun 5, 2012 at 13:27
