what are the differences between the two? what features does lisp have that objective-c doesn't and vice-versa. i have written a whole bunch of apps with cocoa and objective-c in os x and i love it. It is very simple for me to write what i once thought were complex apps and the best part is that they have guis and sound! but my friend keeps telling me to try lisp and stuff so i wanna know why should i bother when i am quite happy with objective c and cocoa.

I can't say this with much authority, but obj-c and lisp are *very* different. Fundamentally different. Obj-C is an object-oriented programming language, and lisp is a functional programming language. That's about as much as I can safely say without falling down a pit or something.

My friend actually sent me this link http://www.lisp.org/table/objects.htm which explained a lot of stuff.

I love Lisp. Its very wonky to get into, and you have to change the way you think about writing applications, but once you get it down its a wonder. The reason I like Ruby so much is that in some respects, it feels much like a bastardized version of Lisp.

i'd still like to use lisp and tbnl for a blog but i never finished reading the book. I only read maybe 50 pages and then stopped for some reason...

Thats not exactly fair to say...Functional can be object oriented and vice versa. Lisp has some pretty cool oop features.
