Huh? Common Lisp (or any lisp for that matter) is one of the most
straightforward languages. You write almost as you would write in
plain English... Maybe you should go try to learn assembly, then
you'll realize how simple lisp is (by comparison).

Get a copy of "The Little Lisper" from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Little-LISPer-Third-Daniel-Friedman/dp/0023397632/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261610310&sr=1-1 .
In fact, buy the three-book package with the Scheme books. If you can't
program in LISP, your thinking about solving computer problems may need a
different mindset. The cool thing is, you can just read the books and
practice writing the programs (without compiling to see if it runs) and
learn an incredible amount of computer technology.

Check these out: for inspiration: http://www.secretgeek.net/lisp_truth.asp
Check out the Essay/talk by Graham on "Beating the Averages"

Good luck.

Try more beer/drugs. Soon you will be just as clever as your former
president!
