I'm currently working through this book. Overall it seems like a good introduction but I wish it had exercises at the end of each section. I learn best by working through specific problems.

Word.

There's Real World Haskell by Don Stewart (http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/index.html), though the order of exposition is different and your mileage may vary with the exercises.

I did find that "Programming in Haskell" by Graham Hutton was a very clear read and had good programming exercises.

The recently released Thinking Functionally with Haskell by Richard Bird includes exercises. I like the fact that this book is a little more rigorous than LYAH.
