cer0: look at PCL: pcl-book: "Practical Common Lisp", an introduction to Common Lisp by Peter Seibel, available at http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and in dead-tree form from Apress (as of 11 April 2005).

I do research in programming-language implementation, and Common Lisp is both my target and my tool.

cer0: SICL: SICL is a (perhaps futile) attempt to re-implement Common Lisp from scratch, hopefully using improved programming and bootstrapping techniques. See https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL

well, writing a re-implementation of cl must not be a easy task, and seems a lot of people found it useful

I barely wrote a lisp once, ahah, like, the last year i tried, but, my C skills are so bad. I was following this... buildyourownlisp.com

After my Masters degree, I worked in industry for a few years, and I noticed how insufficient the level of knowledge was in the developers. In fact, insufficiently low for the task at hand. So I quit and did a PhD. The rest is the "traditional" career path.

So, I looked at the first page of buildyourownlisp.com, and I am still amused by the fact that it is often assumed that you need a lower-level language in order to build a Lisp system.

Legend has it #c said the code was terrible, and it manages to screw up evaluation and scoping in terrible ways.
