I hear this a lot: "learn functional programming", so I did a Haskell module and I still don't understand what all of the fuss is about.

Can you attempt to explain it to me?

I think PGs Common Lisp is a good book for functional programming. It really forces you to solve problems in new ways. While it is not difficult to do the problems in each chapter, doing them the "lisp" way will definitely challenge a C programmer.
