I lost my copy of Lisp In Small Pieces, and it's prolly the book I miss the most. Another book that I got alot out of was Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming (Van Roy and Haridi). It's a great tour of many "paradigms" of programming. If you are enjoying this topic, you might want to check it out. It is less Lisp specific, obviously. -- Craig Brozefsky <cr...@red-bean.com> Premature reification is the root of all evil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
