Here's a micro reading list on FP(cut/pasted from another thread). The Cesarini/Thompson Erlang and Halloway clojure books are really excellent, tho it should be noted that clojure's a fast moving target and lots has happened in release 1.1 that promote new coding techniques.
-- Cesarini/Thompson, Erlang ; Logan, Merritt, Carlsson, OTP in action
-- Halloway, Clojure (supposedly, besides the Manning MEAP PDF book, another Manning and a Apress book are in preparation)
-- Scala: (all 3 books out look pretty good, tho I haven't spent a lot of time digging in, and haven't decided if scala's language syntax is denser than clojure's; The Odersky/Spoon / Venners is the largest and not an easy book to get thru, but probably authoritative. The Payne/Wampler text freely available online
