I think you should care about learning the concepts involved in clojure and functional programming in general. "Getting" clojure after you have done some haskell, lisp or erlang is supposed to be a breeze, so you need to get to the basics!
I bet that most of the books will teach you almost the same thing with different words, so as long they cover the main concepts of clojure like: protocols, macros, concurrency... learning the in and outs of the language is really up to you and one of the best ways of doing it is writing clojure. So I advise you to just read whatever book cover looks best while practicing on every piece of code the book shows you.
