I would like to know which java books/sites to read just to be able to use from clojure, e.g. GUI classes, serial port classes, etc.

I am a professional Clojure developer and I have almost no real-world experience in Java.

I knew basic Java syntax and taught myself to read JavaDocs well. I think that's all you need to know in order to use Java libs from Clojure.

You can polish your Java chops a bit more as you go.
