我很多年前是通过读 David S. Touretzky 的《COMMON LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation》（Common Lisp：符号计算简明入门）学习函数式编程的 [1]。神作，对新手极其友好；尤其是讲递归（Recursion）的那一章，一直是我最喜欢的章节之一。:) [1] https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/book.pdf
I learned functional programming many years ago, by reading the book COMMON LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation by David S. Touretzky [1]. Incredible book, super beginner friendly; the chapter on Recursion in particular is one of my favourites. :) [1] https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/book.pdf
对我来说，正是 Touretzky 的《Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation》终于让我把递归给彻底整明白了。他用非常简单、非数学化的例子，对不同的递归模型进行了极其精彩、通俗的高层次梳理……
For me, it was Touretzky's Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation that finally made recursion click. He gives a fantastic, simple, high-level breakdown of different recursion models with simple, non-mathematical examples.…
……我个人的亲身经验，可以试试 Felleisen 等人写的《How to Design Programs》（HTDP）作为 Scheme 的入门书。这是一本极棒的教材，能为你啃 SICP 打下坚实的基础。另外如果你想尝试 Common Lisp，我强烈推荐 David S. Touretzky 的《Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation》。书虽然有点老，但绝对价值连城。要想真正搞懂 Common……这是最简单的一条路。
…own personal experiences, try "How to Design Programs" (HTDP) by Felleisen et al as an introduction to Scheme. Its a great educational book which really prepares you for SICP. Also if you want to give Common Lisp a try, I'd highly recommend "Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" by David S. Touretzky. Its an old book but well worth its price in gold. It is the simplest way to really get Common…
David S. Touretzky 的《Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation》对于学习用 Lisp 思考和写代码的基础非常扎实。http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/ 顺便也顶一下 K&R，因为……
Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation by David S. Touretzky is solid for learning the fundamentals of thinking in and writing lisp. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/ Bump for the K&R as…
我猜你说的是 Touretzky 的《Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation》——http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/index.html——没错，这本书对零基础新手来说确实棒极了。
I'm assuming you mean Touretzky's Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation — http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/index.html — which, yes, is a wonderful book for a complete beginner.
