It's probably better to read some of the things Pascal mentions. The
Emacs lisp interpreter is also reasonably easy to understand.
CLisp is extremely complex, almost every weird programming trick in the
book is used in it. Also many of the variable names are in german
which makes things extra hard to understand. Every other Common Lisp
implementation I've looked at the source code of (ECL, GCL & SBCL) is
easier to read than CLisp.
