Do you recommend any specific dialect of Lisp?

Last year I learned Racket, Scheme and Common Lisp. I didn't like Common Lisp much. I really like the minimalism of Scheme. I started with Scheme because I was following along with SICP. Racket is a descendant of Scheme that has a really nice ecosystem and a pretty good tutorial. Actually, I wrote an implementation of bf in Racket. Racket is my favorite dialect. You may also want to try Clojure. That one is pretty popular.
