The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way by Michael Fogus

Description

The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition is a deep account of the Clojure language. Fully updated for Clojure 1.6, this new edition goes beyond the syntax to show you how to write fluent Clojure code. You'll learn functional and declarative approaches to programming and will master techniques that make Clojure elegant and efficient. The book shows you how to solve hard problems related to concurrency, interoperability, and performance, and how great it can be to think in the Clojure way.

Fantastic overview of Clojure that gets down into the nitty-gritty of why the language is structured the way it is. Provides great example code, too. Not exactly a reference, not exactly a tutorial, it lies somewhere between the two. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Lisp (what?) in a Java environment (why?).
