I had bought SICP... but I spend more time coding with it than I do reading, so it's easier to have several tabs open in Opera with the different chapters on them. On Lisp is almost as dense-- I'll be cutting and pasting from it into Emacs, looking up Common Lisp commands online, and trying stuff from the REPL prompt. If you read anything from an "ebook", On Lisp should probably be it. I’m reading it online.

I've never had much luck reading ebooks, and I can't seem to find a copy at a reasonable price. If you know where I could find it I'd love to pick it up.
