[Haskell-beginners] [IO String] to IO [String]

I have the function f which reads lines form the stdin and looks like this: f :: [IO String] f = getLine : f What I don't like is the fact that the line processing I'm doing will have to be in the IO Monad I would like to make this function to have the signature f : IO [String] ...such that I can get rid of the IO monad and pass the pure string list to the processing function. Can I do this? Thanks
