I have The Little Schemer, but have had trouble figuring out the best way to use the book. Do you just read it from cover to cover? Or do you cover up the right hand of the page and try to come up with an answer (maybe even typing it into the repl) before looking?

I read it cover to cover. For most of the chapters I read the left side, answer the question in my head and then looked to the right to see if I was right.

Having just learned Clojure using "The Joy of Clojure", If there was anything I needed to verify, I translated the code into clj and pasted it into a Clojure REPL.
