I lost my copy of Lisp In Small Pieces, and it's prolly the book I miss
the most.  Another book that I got alot out of was Concepts, Techniques,
and Models of Computer Programming (Van Roy and Haridi).  It's a great
tour of many "paradigms" of programming.  If you are enjoying this
topic, you might want to check it out.  It is less Lisp specific,
obviously.
