I know you've asked for online resources, but I can't resist a plug for The
Little Schemer <http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/little-schemer>.  It's short,
very clear, starts at the very beginning, and you don't even need a
computer to read it.  (It's also annoyingly cute, but you can overlook that
with a little effort.)  It's far and away the best introduction I've ever
come across to the kind of thinking one needs to master in order to program
in lispy languages like Clojure.  It uses scheme, but everything translates
more or less directly to Clojure.
