The term ``Lisp reader'' refers not to you, the reader of this book,
|
|
nor to some person reading Lisp code, but specifically
|
|
to a Lisp procedure, namely the function <tt>read</tt>,
|
|
which reads characters from an input stream and interprets them by parsing
|
|
as representations of Lisp objects.
