I learned functional programming many years ago, by reading the book COMMON LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation by David S. Touretzky [1]. Incredible book, super beginner friendly; the chapter on Recursion in particular is one of my favourites. :)

+10 for the chapter on recursion. It is not only a must read but probably the only thing one needs to read to understand Recursion.

I suspect Christopher Nolan read the chapter on recursion before writing Inception :-)
