Hi Zachary, great question. I just recently purchased "Real World 
Haskell" and "The Haskell School of Expression" (SOE). I'm also working 
through Hal Daume III's "Yet Another Haskell Tutorial" (YAHT), free online.

YAHT has some hard exercises, early on. He introduces continuations in 
chapter 4, briefly, and then casually asks you to rewrite map and filter 
  in continuation-passing-style. I was stumped. But most of the 
exercises are approachable.

I have looked at Simon Thompson's book (The Craft of Functional 
Programming) in the bookstore and it looks elegantly written.

If I'm working alone, I also appreciate having the answers to the 
exercises available somewhere. I like to solve the problem, then go see 
how much more elegantly the answer key did it. There is a website with 
answers to SOE's exercises:

<http://www.elbeno.com/haskell_soe_blog/?page_id=24>

YAHT includes the answers in the appendix.

I don't know about Thompson's book; maybe he can tell us where to find 
the answers, or if they are in the appendix.

Thanks,
Mike
