I learnt too many years ago to be able to help now, but I can help you
clarify what you need to say to get better advice.  Do you know *any*
programming languages, and if so, which ones?  You are likely to benefit
from different resources if you know Haskell than if you know only C++.
Second, how much experience do you have and does any of that include
other flavours of Lisp?  If you learnt, for example, Scheme, your path
will be very different to someone who didn't.  Finally, what do you want
learn it for?  It might just be for fun or it might be because you have
a very specific goal in mind for which someone might have some specific
recommendations.

Well, you and I are here!  It has certainly been quiet.
