Early in the summer I started going through Real World Haskell; unfortunately, conferences and job changes and other programming side projects kept me busy enough that I stopped reading it after a few chapters. That’s calmed down now; and, conveniently, a friend of mine got a copy recently and some others also expressed interest in it.
So we’re forming a book club. And I figured a few of my readers might be curious about the language as well. If you fall into that bucket, let me know and I’ll add you to the mailing list.

I’d like to do this. I did a bit of Haskell about a year ago, and I’ve got this book through my work’s safaribooksonline.com account. I was using it to work through some of the http://projecteuler.net/ math puzzles. Some were a bit hard — it’s been a few decades since I took calculus ;)
I’d be up for this, if you want to add my name to the list. Functional languages are definitely good for a programmer to know, I think — they stretch the brain in interesting ways. {Was looking at J recently as well}
