Just finished ``On Lisp''. This is an advanced Lisp book and shouldn't
be your first one. It assumes some familiarity with the language so
you're better of reading ``Practical Common Lisp'' first if you're
diving into Lisp for the first time. The book focuses almost
exclusively on advanced use of macros and metaprogramming.
Interestingly, I've also read SICP in parallel -- currently reading
the last chapter -- and there's some overlap in the topics treated in
the two books. I'm also walking through CLRS and TAOCP at the moment,
albeit reading the latter with a slower pace compared to the former.
On the non-technical side, I'm reading ``Drawing with the right side
of the brain'' by Betty Edwards. I've picked up this book since I've
decided to resume drawing one year ago. I highly recommend it if you
struggle to draw a realistic rendering of a real life object or a
landscape.
