I heard this a little while ago, my two favourite language together!

Anyone interested in Haskell is more than welcome to borrow a book or
two:

  The Haskell School of Expression
  Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming
  Algoriths: A Functional Programming Approach (examples in Haskell)
  Purely Functional Data Stuctures (examples in ML, corresponding
                                    Haskell one in the appendix).

If you're just starting out I'd recommend the "Craft" book. First come,
first serve if you're interested.
