regardless of experience, i recommend the little schemer, land of lisp, realm of racket, structure and interpretation of computer programs, and the courses how to code: simple data and how to code: complex data (don't be discouraged by the apparently simple titles as they cover the book how to design programs). if common lisp is really what you want, then i have lisp by winston and horn and common lisp by touretzky and find them quite nice, although i haven't gone through them, just peeking from time to time.
