I'm trying to find a book that will show me or give me examples
of things that you can do in LISP that make LISP the only language
to do them in.  I've got Winston & Horn and its an introduction.

Something I have in mind is a book analagous to _The Art of Prolog_
but for LISP.  I'm looking for examples of self modifying LISP code,
semantic net variations, etc.

One book I've found that seems to fit the bill is by Rajeesh Sagan(sp?)
called _Programming Paradigms in LISP_.  Is anyone familiar with this
book?  Could you post a recommendation or non-recommendation?

If there are other books you could recommend or recommend avoiding 
please do.  Also interesting papers would be of help.

Thanks.

Bill
