I haven't read through 2nd edition of Programming Clojure yet, but comparing it and Joy is silly IMO, as Joy is built around the idea of being the book you read after you understand the basics of Clojure as taught by one of the other two books mentioned (or other resources).
Joy is the one book I consider a necessity to getting a deep understanding of the language without spending as much time as you might attempting the same understanding on your own.
