Right
Structure and interpretation of computer programs
Abelson Sussman and Sussman

A classic course about scheme. It is quite to my liking, but
some may find it too math oriented.

The book shows its age (1990) with sentences like:
     "It will take quite a while for that 292 to be computed."

(Actually more like 2 mS in Forth, I don't know yet how
to measure it in Scheme, but it is not noticeable.)
