ANSI Common Lisp

Why nobody mentioned Paul Graham's ANSI Common Lisp book? It 's got almost zero "noise" and full of signals .)

> "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" I think it is one of the best books written on any topic ever period. It is kinda advanced but also brilliant, and was a turning point in my decision to master hacking. > Now I am reading "Two Scoops of Django" and enjoying it A LOT. It's closer to a beginner/intermediate level, and it brings me a lot of joy and excitement about programming. > Another one is "Hackers & Painters", of course. PG is brilliant, nuff said. His book "ANSI Common Lisp" is definitely on the top of my reading list, I've already started and it is great. > Just to mention, a little less technical book is "Ghost In The Wires" by Kevin Mitnick, a famous hacker. I'm listening the audiobook now and it is really inspiring, entertaining and fantastic.

Off the top of my head: - Soul of a New Machine - The Cuckoo's Egg - Revolution in the Valley - Fire in the Valley - Compilers by Sethi, Ullman, Aho - Masters of Doom - iWoz - Steve Jobs & the NeXT Big Thing - Crypto - Code - The Man Who Loved Only Numbers - The Man Who Knew Infinity - ANSI Common LISP Most of the books above are recommended because once reading them you will have an uncontrollable urge to immediately create something brilliant. You will not be able to stop yourself. -m
