Hey /prog/. Help me assemble a list of books that are considered the 'bibles' of each language. Let me give you an example:

C - K&R
Perl - Programming Perl

Maybe Scheme - SICP? I don't know. Help me.

The Java Language Specification

I don't know which one would it be for CL, but it would likely be the The Hyperspec, if not that, PAIP, PCL, and others.

It would be CLtL 1/2.

The HyperSpec(the standard tex files converted to HTML) is heavily based on the CLtL 1, with many new features added.
CLtL 2 is a snapshot of how things stood during one phase of the standardization process. Certain features were not kept, while some were added. I still find CLtL 2 a pretty useful reference, as long as I keep in mind the difference between the final standard and it.

Just about all the great Smalltalk books are provided here for free:
http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html
very nice of the publishers to make these out of print books available. Smalltalk is really a great and enjoyable language that was and still is way ahead of its time. I recommend starting out with Squeak implentation, its compatible with Smalltalk-80 and was designed by Alan Kay himself to be user friendly
