Saw it recommended on the org-roam forum.

I enjoyed this. It mainly does in to detail about two of the big ideas in Lisp - code as data and macros. It's kind of dated. You wouldn't want to use XML as an example any more. Or even the C preprocessor. But I used a bit of both of those in my earlier coding days so the examples worked for me.
