In addition to all the good advice given by others, you might be interested by Christian Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces
http://pagesperso-systeme.lip6.fr/Christian.Queinnec/WWW/LiSP.html
which describes many flavors of Lisp interpreters and compilers.
You might also want to look into the internal representations of existing compilers, even complex ones. For that, you could even play with GCC MELT (see http://gcc-melt.org/ for more), a high level domain specific language to work on GCC internals.
Regards.

data structures so well, the code can be surprisingly easy to follow once you
spend an hour or two learning the basics of the language. -John]
