Great! Thanks for your suggestions. I do come from several years of Java
programming and have been digging through Clojure in Action and Joy of
Clojure. I was looking for a more general/theoretical book that might give
me some deeper insight into Lisp so that I could approach future Clojure
pro
It's a good book for diving into fundamentals of Lisp in general, and the
cool epiphanies you can have if you are coming from a language like Java...
Maybe not the best for a first book on Clojure, or if you are unfamiliar
with Lisp/functional programming in general; for that see these comparisons
I've read it and highly recommend it. It won't necessarily help you program in
Clojure, but it will open your eyes to the seemingly limitless potential of
macros. You'll find yourself smiling with intrique just about every page- quite
thought-provoking.

I just started reading LoL. Sometimes I find myself blushing at how the author
presents the material, but what I've read so far is pretty good.

LoL is a good book. Very entertaining, even if part of the content is debatable.
(It is a very opiniated book)
Reading it after On Lisp could be a good idea, as there are a few
references from LoL to On Lisp.

The book is definitely a good read, makes you think
Hi,
it is quite an advanced book, IMHO you should be familiar with macros
before readings this. But there is amazing stuff in there.
If you are looking for introduction material I suggest reading Peter
Seibel's Practical Common Lisp. Peter smoothly introduces macros in one of
the first chapt
It treats reader macros in some detail which is not really applicable to
Clojure but it's a fun book :)
