It depends on your definition of 'absolute beginner'. Here are three scenarios: 

1. a middle school kid who has never programmed 

	use the bootstrap-world.org material 
	perhaps followed by Picturing Programs 

2. a college freshman without programming experience 
	
	use HtDP/2e

3. an adult who recently learned to program in one language (say Java) and heard that 'all hackers benefit from learning to program in Lisp

	use Realm of Racket
