So I'm endeavoring to teach myself Common Lisp. Any tips?

I would second learning Clojure. Functional programming has taken on an approach to concurrency that common lisp just never had and never will. Clojure is a more modern, usable lisp dialect that deals with concurrency. You will learn all the same lessons that lisp can teach in clojure plus a lot more with modern tools. Its just not worth learning common lisp as the first lisp today.
 
Been on my bucket list for some time, and Barnes and Noble has a 15% off Valentine's Day coupon, so I ordered Land Of Lisp (http://www.landoflisp.com/#yt).

Any recommendations/good references?

I've personally never played around with lisp but there is a guy at work that does customisation of autodesk products for us (using lisp), I can ask him the next time I see him (if I remember, that's a pretty big if though).
