lisp-koans
Common Lisp Koans is a language learning exercise in the same vein as the ruby koans, python koans and others. It is a port of the prior koans with some modifications to highlight lisp-specific features. Structured as ordered groups of broken unit tests, the project guides the learner progressively through many Common Lisp language features.

The Liberating Experience of Common Lisp
Practical Common Lisp is also a nice read, and the Cookbook* seems to be coming along quite nicely. There's also CLiki (the Common Lisp wiki), but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is.

Homoiconic Python
an actually difficult question! Different persons will absorb different things from articles, and will enjoy different projects as a first encounter. Pointers:
https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ (and see the Emacs or the debugging pages to see what's possible)
see https://www.youtube.com/@CBaggers/playlists and either his introductions to Slime, either his introductions to CEPL to play with graphics interactively,
also for graphics, a new 3D system in development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liaLgaTOpYE
for an overview of how thought through is REPL driven development in CL: https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/
and, we are lucky (or cursed :] ), there are many more cool articles on the topic.

The Loudest Lisp Program
But after you get past some basic weird stuff, it's a quite wonderful language.
> I can only speak for myself, but I definitely reason about code outside in rather than inside out.
You can indent code to make it much easier to "parse", and use some macros that turn the code inside/out, it's more readable than most other languages.
The CL cookbook is an excellent resource, and this page links to several other excellent resources and books you can read for free online: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/
The "new docs" also present the documentation in a "modern" looking way (rather than the 90's looks of what you get if you Google around): https://lisp-docs.github.io/cl-language-reference/
About other Lisps...
The Racket Guide is definitely not "bone-dry": https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/intro.html
It is well written and looks very beautiful to me.
On another Scheme, I find Guile docs also great: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/index.ht...
They may be a bit more "dry" but they're to the point and very readable! In fact, I think Lisp languages tend to have great documentation.

Gamedev in Lisp. Part 1: ECS and Metalinguistic Abstraction
> the problem with Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs
What's the problems with Alive, SLT, Slyblime, and Vlime? I mean, I use Emacs, but I was using Emacs before getting into Scheme and CL anyway.
> Every website that teaches Lisp is in ugly HTML+CSS-only style
I dunno, I feel like the Community Spec (<https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html>) and the Cookbook (<https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/>) are fine.
> I like the philosophy of (s-exp) but modern lisps have ruined its simplicity for me by introducing additional bracket notations [like this].
Yes, that additional notation is a terrible blight on the perfection that is S-expressions, I wholeheartedly agree.
