Thanks everyone. Good stuff. I have Let over Lambda, but I didn't glean what I wanted from it (or probably even what it wanted from me). I'll pick up On Lisp. I didn't realize it was focused on macros. Also, I think Luca has given me a clue. I used code gen techniques long before I started using

Thanks to the community for a wondrous programming environment. I discovered SICP last year, and fell in love with the idea of lisp. But I've come to a point where I think I need practice on moderately sized projects before more reading will help. When starting on almost any moderately scoped effo
