[Haskell-cafe] Re: Writing "Haskell For Dummies Or At Least For People Who Feel Like Dummies When They See The Word 'Monad'"

I generally manage to absorb just enough to get by, but I think there is a niche for a book (coupled to practical problems and complete with excercises etc) that is waiting to be filled.

Agreed. Something along the lines of "The Art of Functional Programming". HSoE is great as a starting textbook. However, it just scratches the surfaces - and after that, trying to grok monads keeps you occupied for a year or longer, keeping you distracted from developing other skills (such as writing and reading point-free code, or developing an intuition for curried code, or digging into a combinator library).
