Hi Daniel, I'm reading /Practical Common Lisp/ too.
I wasn't keen on Lisp at college. Paul Graham's essays convinced me to look again. And the appeal of /Practical Common Lisp/ is that it moves on from the language to a series of modern applications. So it dispels the perception of Lisp as a langauge of academic interest only, with no practical applications. For anyone else who's curious, the text of the published book is freely available on the author's site: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ (This post is just a response to the side-thread about Lisp: I wouldn't recommend Lisp for a Netsoc talk!)
