Not to knock LYAH, but I personally think it stops at a place that would leave newcomers a little ill-equipped to work on haskell projects, considering there are concepts (like monad transformers) that nearly every modern haskell project is going to make some use of that aren't covered. Pedagogically, I think its great that it takes some of the intimidation out of learning something that could otherwise seem very alien and academic.

These days, I recommend the book "Haskell Programming From First Principles" [1]. It's still a work in progress, but its already probably the best haskell book available right now. Just be aware that its a bit lengthy (1000+ pages) and that many of the chapters aren't necessary for learning haskell, but may make the going easier.

I also highly recommend using Stephen Diehl's "What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell"[2] which covers a huge amount of pragmatic advice on style, library use, GHC extension use, etc.
