So, I really like How To Design Programs, because the thing it got across for me is how to appropriately think in a functional way. It walks you through building data structures and full programs in a really nice method. I've now been going through SICP, and nothing has seemed out of place as the notation is almost identical, and the few places that it isn't are not hard to translate.
