Starting Programming

I really have never programmed before in my life. I've done none of it, but I want to start. What should I use to learn? SICP? I understand SICP will probably be overly difficult but I'll just spend a lot of time with it. Or will it be impossible for me to understand?

Well, it would be kind of stupid to dick around with Python when you know Common Lisp exists, and even dumber to mess with Ruby unless you're looking to take advantage of Rails, but other than that, go for it!
