Learning Clojure without Java Knowledge

Ok, so I'm psyched about another list. I got myself a copy of the beta Clojure programming book...

And the one thing I'm noticing most is that it's assumed I know... like all the major java classes.

Except, generally, I don't really care about Java. I just want enough knowledge of it for Clojure to be an option for me.

Any suggestion as to how to learn just what I need of it all?

If you're not interested in all the Java aspects of Clojure, perhaps you'd be better off learning another dialect of Lisp, such as Common Lisp or Scheme. Clojure is designed to interoperate well in the Java environment.
