Have you seen the Lisp resources on Paul Graham's website? The Lisp FAQ (http://paulgraham.com/lispfaq1.html) answered a lot of my own questions. I've been drawn towards learning lisp for some time too (because it just seems so... different), and this week I finally installed the Clisp implementation and worked through the two online chapters of PG's ANSI Common Lisp book. I wish more programming texts were that clear and fast-paced. The lisp essays are engaging too.

I also wish I had more reasons to use/learn lisp. Everything I do is better suited to another language, it seems like.
