      Thanks all! I was able to make use of readEither to do just what I wanted.

Is there a variation of 'read' which uses Maybe or Either to handle
failure instead of an exception?
readMaybe:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.6.0.1/docs/Text-Read.html#v:readMa...
Prelude> import Text.Read (readMaybe)
  Prelude Text.Read> readMaybe "Hello, World!" :: Maybe Int
  Nothing
  Prelude Text.Read> readMaybe "45" :: Maybe Int
  Just 45
