I second most of the book suggestions already mentioned (those that
I've read).
If you like reading papers, I strongly suggest you take a look at "Can
Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style?":

I don't have any experience with agents in Clojure, but I wonder if
they be used to similar effect? Agents seem more like data in another
thread to me than self-recursive
Programming Erlang is also good. The syntax and message passing
emphasis aren't relevant to Clojure, but Erlang also uses immutable
data, and is definitely a functional language.

Practical Common Lisp, on the web at http://gigamonkeys.com/book/
Cloj
+1 for Higher Order Perl. The author, Mark Jason Dominus, has made
the book available for free download at http://hop.perl.plover.com/book/.

It may help to review the code and structure of open source Clojure
projects, part of the mind-bend feeling could be coming from
struggling to know where to begin when writing code and less from
unfamiliarity with the theory of FP.
I'd also recommend playing with Haskell and reviewing "Real World

I have not yet read anything more mind-bending than this:

It is free download - the
I recommend "Purely Functional Data Structures" by Chris Okasaki. If
you can get your hands on "OCaml for Scientists" it's pretty good too.
And of course The Little Lisper/Schemer. I haven't made it through my
copy of SICP or PAIP.

Higher Order Perl. While I don't want to use Perl anymore, I do know it
very well, and it provided a good introduction to FP in a more familiar
language. YMMV.

As messy of a language it is, learning Ruby was the final step needed
to show me the philosophy and merits of FP.

Talk about bad timing - reading the "Silly question from Programming
Clojure" it looks like a book thread already got started there. Here
were some additional mentions:

Going beyond the language-specific Programming Clojure book, what
other books have best helped you make the (sometimes mind-bending)
