Try a textbook? e.g. Types and Programming Languages by Benjamin C. Pierce.

I agree that TaPL is an excellent book, but I did not find it useful in explaining functional programming idioms. (It does do a great job of explaining typed lambda calculus, however.)

Excellent book that one. I'm working through it right now. It's dense, but good and approachable.
