No, On Lisp is generally a book for more advanced Lispers. Seibel's Practical Common Lisp is normally the starting point for learning Common Lisp. If however you're more into learning Scheme, there are a few resources to do that as well. Kent Dyvbig has written "The Scheme Programming Language," which was my "formal" introduction. And of course there is the classic computer science text "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Abelson and Sussman. All 3 of these books actually are online for free.
Side note. I'd also be "all over" a Haskell presentation. I've been meaning to get my Monads on for a while now.

or we can pitch in. Aaron, any possibility we could get space at your
place again this time?

I'd be all over a Haskell talk.
