I also have paul graham's book on lisp.
There have been many prior discussions in this group about reading
material - you may want to try searching. Here's a recent one:

On the topic of other intro books, I've been having success learning
with Practical Common Lisp, available online by author:
And of course, the first thing to learn is that Lisp is a *family* of
languages, not just one Language. Both those books are Common Lisp.
Scheme is the next most common, and for that, I'm reading "Teach
yourself Scheme in fixnum days" -- it's very lighthearted and
interactive.

And there's the HyperSpec for Common Lisp. Can anyone recommend a
good reference for Scheme of the same caliber?

How about the R5RS spec? It is maybe not the most common, but IMHO a
good starting point if you want a CL-like-spec.

There's plenty out there. One (funny but useful introductory) example is:
