I'm currently learning Clojure by reading the Clojure Programming book. Its really been a struggle. You're right about the impatience part. I think everyone goes through it at one point or another. Especially with learning a Lisp language, you can be really frustrated by having to read so much before you can actually create something. But slowly and surely I'm learning. I just re-read the chapter(s) I don't understand over and over again. So my advice is don't try to skim over a whole book. Try reading as slow as possible, and if you don't understand something, take a break and then get back to that same shit once more. And of course, write some code as soon as possible.
