IMO there are 2 aspects of learning Clojure coming from an imperative and/or OO background. One s the functional aspect of it and other the idioms and the language itself. To learn the language a book like 'Clojure Programming' would be a good start as others have suggested. It will help you quickly get into building some stuff right away. Another good book I thought you could get through faster in 'Pragmatic Clojure'.I found this book to be the next level to Clojure Programming.
But, it will take more time and practice (along with pure joy!) to internalize the functional way of doing things. For the functional exercise, even one other book I thought is useful are smaller and simpler books like Little Schemer etc, though you will have to spend time understand the syntax of yet another FP language. But again, you could put your experience of F# to good use here.
