I only looked at the beginning of HtdP, so I cannot say a lot about it and maybe that fact l, that Scheme was sort of new to me when I worked with SICP also had a part in it, but: I found SICP beautifully written as well. That John Locke quote at the beginning? I thought it sounds like a philosophical quote, and then I saw the name under it: "It really is by a philosopher! By John Locke! WTF!" and it fits the content of the book so perfectly.

I did not get the same feeling at the beginning of HtdP.
