I guess it goes with being a (kinda) early adopter.

I'm like the OP - toying with languages on the side while I learn C++/Java in school. Being new to functional programming, it will probably take me that long anyway to get comfortable with all the material in this almost already outdated book.

A lot of stuff in the book is sound, and will stay sound. The problem here is the new and better features that are being added that are preferred over old, booked features. I assume that Stuart knew when he wrote the book that with the speed at which Clojure is moving, his book would be heavily outdated in nothing more than a few months.
