Emacs Lisp book revived: Marcin Borkowski

The best way to learn CL, IMO, is installing Portacle[1] and working through either Practical Common Lisp[2] or Common Lisp: a Gentle Introduction[3]. (I personally prefer PCL, but a lot of people like Gentle)

Thanks, yes started reading through PCL last night, as it's online, and it's already cleared so much up for me. I'd never really thought about learning CL first until this thread, but now it feels like I've found the missing piece. And PCL is pitched exactly right, for me.
