thanks. which of those books goes furthest? (i imagine i can work out the basic stuff, so it seems best to choose whichever includes the most obscure/advanced features - and i'd like to save time by reading just one...).

i do use emacs for text editing, so i'll try it for clojure (i should say that there was only one wrinkle in getting the environment working in intellij - that was adding clojure.jar to the classpath, which it told me to do in an error popup, so it wasn't hard at all).

ps to save others googling: http://joyofclojure.com/ ; http://www.apress.com/9781430272311
