The problem I face is that most (all?) Haskell books I could find deal with
Haskell 98... Are there any books out that cover the "modern" Haskell
extensions?

but afair you don't yet have too much experience even with H98
language? from my POV, H98 as is useful for learning, but not for real
apps. there is wide common subset of GHC and Hugs language extensions
and this set (with exception for FD) will probably become new Haskell'
standard

one problem of Haskell popularity is that language is rather complex
to learn. but one doesn't need to learn it all from the beginning. in
my *application* program i don't used even type classes but when i've
started to write general-purpose libs, aspiration to develop as general
solution as possible quickly leads to using all kinds of Haskell
type hackery
