Great! Thanks for your suggestions. I do come from several years of Java 
programming and have been digging through Clojure in Action and Joy of 
Clojure. I was looking for a more general/theoretical book that might give 
me some deeper insight into Lisp so that I could approach future Clojure 
programming challenges in interesting ways. Looks like I will be getting it 
once I graduate from the training wheels.
