I think that you totally missed the point of SICP. Before, I was thinking like you that SICP was just some kind of ``abstract bullshit" but it's the real and only way of programming, The Sussman was not only a genius but also had a very good way to explain it through one unique language. Lisp, A language so simple that you can teach it to bright students in 10 minutes. I never thought that Satori would exist, except the day I achieved it(after I read SICP)
You feel like you had achieved everything you had to. You understand why lisp is superior to Java. SICP should not only be treated as a Great Book but also as the Holy Bible of Programming. The day you will comprehend the philosophical concepts in SICP you will be ready for this board, lisp and SICP. The first day I saw SICP I thought it was only a normal book. Well, I was wrong it changed my life. If you hhave questions about the point of programming, SICP has the answer. If you have questions about the meaning of life, SICP has the answer. If you have questions about Satori, SICP has the answer. SICP answered to every questions I had. It's definitly the greatest book ever written and you should give the chance to read it to everyone.
