For the past few years I've been dabbling in object-oriented languages like Python and Ruby, but the OOP concept never really meshed with me. Right now, I'm eager to learn something based on a different paradigm.
A:
You can try PHP, its less specific coding like other languages like Java, In PHP you can create code without having to use Objects/Namespaces etc.
I prefer to program in OOP (MVC / DRM), I would really recommend you come to terms with some of its complexity because OOP is only logical programing paradigm.
Hpe you see my point but good luck any way.

A:
Most OOP capable languages allow non-OOP style programming. I'd recommend C, PHP and JavaScript.

A:
Haskell (a completely functional language with great ad-hoc polymorphism) and C (a low-level imperative language) are probably your top choices if you're looking to learn a non-OO language.
Lisp's (or Scheme's) functional paradigm is also a classic.
If you're looking a less-conventional paradigm, learn Prolog.

If you're learning Haskell, I like http://learnyouahaskell.com/ - kind of light-hearted and fun, but still informative and detailed.

Seconding this. Haskell will warp your brain in interesting and useful ways.
