Self modifying code, closures, and macros are always fun...

Resources for learning Common Lisp:

The Common Lisp standard:

For any of you scheme folks out there, here's a fun brain teaser I ran
across a while ago.  What does it print out?  You can always try running
it if you give up...

  (define call/cc call-with-current-continuation)
  (let* ((yin ((lambda (foo) (newline) foo)
               (call/cc (lambda (bar) bar))))
         (yang ((lambda (foo) (write-char #\*) foo)
                (call/cc (lambda (bar) bar)))))
    (yin yang))
