I don't think I ever had an a-ha moment with Lisp per se, because it was one of the first languages I learned. But Friedman and Felleisen's *The Little Schemer* (then titled *The Little Lisper*) was a revelation. I didn't understand recursion until I worked through it, and it was also only then that I fully grokked some basic things you can do with lists. (Plus ... it has the applicative order Y-combinator. If you've been there, you know what I mean.)
