The first three chapters will take you a year. The next two will take you longer.

I always find it odd that no one talks about the lisp book where you write a hardware simulation of a computer to run the compiler you also wrote on.

Which Lisp book is that?
Is that htdp.org?
No that's sicp chapter 4 and 5.

Again I have no idea why no one talks about those. They are the most mind bending parts of the book.

I’ve been looking forward to getting to that part.
