I agree with this. Clojure is significantly different than Common Lisp and Scheme, so reading On Lisp and Practical Common Lisp are going to cover a bunch of stuff not relevant to Clojure. The Prag Prog book, Programming Clojure, covers pretty much everything you need to know about Lisp, at least enough to get started with Clojure. After you've started to get the hang of Clojure from reading that book, then maybe go back and give SICP, On Lisp or Practical Common Lisp a try.
