It's repetitive but honestly I found that the comedic writing made the exercises very entertaining. I was rarely bored. I don't play the piano, but I do play drums, and the equivalent to Hanon's finger exercises is an old book called Stick Control, which is definitely in the boring as hell category! I'm glad that Lisp beginners have something more fun available. :)
And on this topic, I'm currently reading 'The Reasoned Schemer,' written in the same style. The style gets the stuff into my head w/o resorting to trying out problems on the computer (yet). I have also read Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs The Scheme Programming Language Matt
