As a lisper, i like PLAI and all the other books from the same school: Lisp in small pieces and many others.

But they also felt kind of detached from realities of industrial languages and compilers.

These days Crafting Interpreters is probably the best suggestion.

Also Practical Foundations for Programming Languages by Harper.
