I agree with this completely.
The CFP book is a good introduction.
Unforunately, the " Gentle Introduction To Haskell" that haskell.org links to is not a
very useful introduction.
I am getting more out of Rex Paige's Two Dozen Short Lessons in Haskell. ( I am
studying Haskell and C# on my own in my spare time as break from my medical practice ).
