This new edition (released May 2025) of my book \"Loving Common Lisp, or the Savvy Programmer's Secret Weapon\" adds Large Language Model (LLM) examples and other small changes. I removed some of the older material from the earlier editions and added application examples for deep learning, back-propagation and Hopfield neural networks, using the CLML machine learning library, heuristic search.

The purpose of this book is to provide a quick introduction to Common Lisp and then provide the user with many fun and useful examples for using Common Lisp.

Before you buy this book you can first look at the programming examples at https://github.com/mark-watson/loving-common-lisp

The author has used Common Lisp professionally since 1982.
