Agreed.
Something along the lines of "The Art of Functional Programming".

HSoE is great as a starting textbook. However, it just scratches the 
surfaces - and after that, trying to grok monads keeps you occupied for 
a year or longer, keeping you distracted from developing other skills 
(such as writing and reading point-free code, or developing an intuition 
for curried code, or digging into a combinator library).
