I've heard rave reviews of Joy of Clojure as a good book to "get it". I found I really had to work at the problem from several angles before it "clicked".
I started with Land of Lisp, but it felt very arcane to me at the time. I would copy in code from the book, and then look back at just jibberish. I gave up on that a few chapters in. Then I made that site in Clojure, one error at a time, pounding like a monkey until it worked. I then read Clojure Programming twice, followed by working through Let Over Lambda. About halfway through Let Over Lambda, I think it "clicked". I finished with an amazing online course in Programming Languages through Brown University. I finished with SICP chapters 1-3.
