There's a slightly hidden list of all the topics: http://bestintrobook.com/all

I'm working on a suggest feature. For right now I'm logging the queries, so I'll know what there's a demand for that I don't have.

Until then... :-)

My suggestions:

  - Erlang: Erlang & OTP in Action
  - (Common) Lisp: Practical Common Lisp
    - this one can also be read online for free[1]

Disclaimer: Haven't finished either of them but they've been great so far.

Erlang and OTP in Action is great for learning about OTP. It's not really the best introduction to Erlang the language itself. I'd recommend Erlang Programming by Cesarini AND Thompson for that. Programming Erlang by Joe Armstrong is good as well.

How are you constructing the list?
