This book for some reason was ignored from the discussion (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1052858) yesterday about the Lisp fingerprint reader. I think more people should read it.
I love that on the books own page it is described as: "Let Over Lambda (ISBN 978-1-4357-1275-1, 376+iv pp.) is one of the most hardcore computer programming books out there."
I'm thinking about reading it. Some people don't like the editing, since it's self-published and doesn't have a lot of polish. It's also pretty heavy on the author's opinions (which might not be a bad thing).

I liked the parts of it that I have seen, but in a perverse, guilty-pleasure kind of way.
