There is an interesting, if somewhat dated, suggestion on "Lambda the Ultimate" (see http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1748) that "someone translate Doug Hofstadter's Scientific American columns introducing Scheme to a general audience into Haskell."
(I came across this link while adding full titles and links to the HaskellWiki "Books and tutorials" page (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books_and_tutorials), where I clicked on the link to "Tutorials" (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials), which contained a link to a "Haskell vs. Scheme" (see http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/tb/nq1k) article, which described the post containing the suggestion.)
According to a comment by Ehud Lamm (see http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1748#comment-21292) on the above post, the columns are in Hoftstadter's book _Metamagical Themas: Questing For The Essence Of Mind And Pattern_ [1] (see http://www.amazon.com/Metamagical-Themas-Questing-Essence-Pattern/dp/0465045...).
Has anybody translated Hofstadter's articles from Scheme into Haskell?

I have scans of the column and have meant to translate them; but you know how it is... -- gwern
