Practical Common Lisp (2009)

I want to learn Clojure but every time I try I get bogged down thinking I need to learn Common Lisp first. I’m sure that’s silly but it seems like it would be important. Am I wrong?

Common Lisp is a very different language, I doubt it will help you to learn Clojure. Clojure is a smaller language than Common Lisp in a lot of ways, so learning it first, then Common Lisp later might actually be the faster approach.

Just learn Clojure. Common Lisp is mainly obsolete.
