I'm trying to get a feel for the parts of Lisp that I haven't used very much up to now. Read macros have caught my attention at the moment. There isn't a huge amount of info about their use and it would help to see what people have done with them, both to get examples of how they work and also to see what sorts of problems can be approached with them. Following on that, are there any guidelines for knowing what constitutes good and bad use of read macros?

See Vsevolod Dyomkin's answer to my question Writing Common Lisp code that executes from the command line, but not inside the interpreter, which is an application of reader macros.
