Interesting, I started going through Lisp In Small Pieces a while ago, and I enjoyed
the first chapter, but put it on the shelf for a while.
I've been meaning to pick it back up, but was considering going through Crafting Interpreters first (and started reading it but since I don't know Java I spent
more time trying to figure out a good setup with Java and Emacs).
How is Nils Holm's "LISP from nothing?" I discovered it a while ago, but probably judged
it by its cover (and the typesetting).
Any other recs in the PL/compilers world would be appreciated. I'm probably the only
person that did not like EOPL. I bought the 3rd edition, went back to the 2nd edition,
and at some point early on the eval did not work. Which is a shame since I enjoyed Friedman's Little/Seasoned Schemer and Scheme and the Art of Programming
