Now, the programming concepts book that I really want would be the successor to Lisp in Small Pieces (ISBN 0-521-56247-3), but AFAICT, it hasn't been finished. In Lisp In Small Pieces, Christian states that assignment, side-effects, and continuations break referential transparency. My faithful readers, will get to see them first.

An old favourite for many people who studied this in College or at home – The Little Schemer is the way many people have started the road to LISP. It's not just an aesthetic consideration. I've struggled to find decent chunks of Lisp in Small pieces in Clojure code online. Described as 'mind blowing' by some – particular highlights include the ycombinator and the metacircular interpreter. I bought Lisp In Small Pieces, read 19 pages, then struck out on my own, writing a headcase macro to factor out the repetition from the SICP code, and an interpreter.
