I like Peter Norvig's book, Paradigm's of AI Programming.
Also Paul Graham's books.
They show you how powerful Lisp is, not just "describing the features".
You are probably full up on "the features" and need to have some programming
goal in mind.
The online guides like CLHS will presumably fit in some device that fits in
your pocket.
But I think few people program in Lisp or any other language "off line".
