I wanted to learn a Lisp so I started with Clojure thinking it would be the more practical choice. Unfortunately, I found that for every 1 part lisp I was learning I had to learn 2 parts Java, which kinda defeated the purpose of my goal of learning a lisp in the first place.
I switched to Common Lisp and have been happy. There are some really great books for it and it's helped my overall programming skill. If I had to work with Java I would consider Clojure, but I didn't find it a particularly enlightening language, at least if you're trying to learn Lisp.
