Well, I do know Lisp a littly bit. Re: Micheal: The SCIP book, which I read (first half only yet) is a seminal book in computer science fully pronounced: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". Full text is online here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ It uses Scheme as example language.
But as with Go or Chess: knowing the rules, which are very simple in Lisp, is one thing, and in the case of Go, Chess and Lisp it seems to be the most tiny thing in mastering the game. As I never really *used* Lisp, be it in music or in Emacs, I termed myself a "Lisp idiot". ;)
