I think Paul is being unduly modest. I found it very useful when I first learnt Haskell. But I did already know ML, so maybe the "Gentle Introduction" would be harder going for someone who didn't know anything about functional programming.

Mind if I "me too" a bit? I had just read the SICP, and I too found that the Gentle Introduction served well as an introduction to the Haskell syntax. I think it'd be fine if the title were a bit less ambitious - it isn't really aimed at the novice, I think. It's been a while since I read it tho' -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
