Started reading SICP on a whim

I don’t know what happened today. But I just started reading SICP which I meant to do for a long time.

The book itself:

I’m not even sure whether I’ll finish the book. Yet, I see that it is written in an interesting way. Which at least makes a good past time reading : )

Is there anybody who finished it?

P.S. I’m doing it with Racket and the package called sicp.
It’s nice that Racket has a repl.

Some interesting caveats I discovered as I ran this code.

-x here should be - x (with a space).

I couldn’t figure this out.

If I write -1 in racket it’s okay.
If I write (-1) it gives me an error:
application: not a procedure;
expected a procedure that can be applied to arguments

The cond is similar to cond in Elixir.

Also super interested in thoughts on this one. I have it on my shelf and keep starting it then getting distracted with something else, been wanting to get into it properly for a long time
