If you like Ruby, you may also enjoy Lisp since it influenced Ruby. I'd recommend "Practical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel. Or "ANSI Common Lisp" by Paul Graham. Lastly, the classic "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Abelson and Sussman would be good. Or you can just skip the books and simply stop assigning to variables ;) Brian Adkins
