READ function reads arbitrary readable lisp object from input stream. Reading process uses *read-table*. Note that *read-eval* global variable controls read-time evaluation (#. macro).
(let ((s (make-string-input-stream "(1 2 3)"))) (read s)) => (1 2 3) (let ((s (make-string-input-stream "#(1 2 3)"))) (read s)) => #(1 2 3) (let ((s (make-string-input-stream "\"hola\""))) (read s)) => "hola"
