I have been going through the O'Reilly book for clojure: http://www.clojurebook.com/ http://www.clojurebook.com/ I like it so far because it relates many new functional programming concepts back to ideas from other languages. In the early portions of the book it frequently shows ruby, java, and python code alongside a line of clojure. A more interactive way to try out the language would be to try www.4clojure.com or the clojure koans. Both take different approaches to giving you puzzles to solve with clojure.
