A bit late to the party. I recommend SICP, On Lisp & Art of Metaobject Protocol. The last you can skip to some degree because its quite advanced so unless you want to stay in the Lisp world, not as useful IMO (but lovely from an intellectual perspective, its a masterpiece). SICP definitely IMO.

On Lisp is by Paul Graham and pretty good too, but again its kinda more Lisp focused. Actually try PAIP by Norvig, I heard that is really good and it should be more useful for non lispers (even though its a lisp based book, it teaches lots of good programming concepts)
