Others have recommended great languages already, but you also need a good book to teach you not only the syntax and the libraries, but how to think in a different paradigm. So, here are some of my favorites:

Prolog:

  • Dennis Merritt: Adventure in Prolog (free!) - the gentlest introduction to a new programming language I've ever seen.
  • E. Shapiro - L. Sterling: The Art of Prolog (Amazon)

    Common Lisp:

  • Paul Graham: On Lisp (free!)
  • Peter Siebel: Practical Common Lisp (free!)
  • Peter Norvig: Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp (Amazon)

    Scheme:

  • H. Abelson - G. J. Sussman: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (free!) - the classic text; if you read only one book from this list, let it be this one.
  • D. Friedman - M. Felleisen: The Little Schemer (Amazon)
  • D. Friedman - M. Felleisen: The Seasoned Schemer (Amazon)

    Haskell:

  • B. O'Sullivan - D. Stewart -J. Goerzen: Real World Haskell (free!)
  • Simon Thompson: Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (Amazon)
  • Paul Hudak: Haskell School of Expression (Amazon)

    Enjoy!

I've found Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming to be great. RWH is naturally better for real-world examples though. That would be CoFP's main downfall.
