Why do you like this book so much? Sure, (most of) the ideas presented in the book are fairly important, though they're the sort of things you can pick up elsewhere. And also, there's nothing really special about lisp. Yes, it's an interesting language, but nothing to make a big deal about.

Knuth is kind of a twat. He's an adequate compiler of information, but there's no real insight or wisdom there. He barely comes up to the Sussman's ankles.
