As a hobby I want to learn a lisp. Where should I begin? :)

MAL. AKA Make A Lisp. Instructions to write a tail recursion lisp interpreter in a weekend in almost any language. It teaches almost anything you want to know about lisp, plus some practical compiler/interpreter knowledge.
Install sbcl, slime, gnu emacs in some form.
See the book Practical Common Lisp for an intro: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/
If you want to see how Lisp environments used to be on the hey day of Lisp, check the community editions from Lisp Works and Allegro Common Lisp.
