If you already know a little Lisp, The Joy of Clojure is a very good book to start at.
But I went through a complete journey of reading ANSI Common Lisp, The Little Schemer, The Seasoned Schemer, On Lisp and various other scheme material on the internet.
So syntax and other Lisp related stuff wasn't the problem. The Joy of Clojure book showed the Clojure way of doing things really well.
If you have to start on absolute basics of Lisp, I'd recommend watching the SICP lectures and reading PG's ANSI Common Lisp book.
