I recommend some other functional language like Scheme or OCaml. All I got from my time with Haskell was frustration. I read RWH and worked through tutorials. I never got to a point where it didn't seem like the simplest tasks weren't painful.
Learn You a Haskell For Great Good! is one of the better introductory programming books I've read, and the author writes in a ridiculously fun and easy-to-read style.
But if you find 'fun' and large amounts of text distracting, then Graham Hutton's 'Programming in Haskell'[1] is a better introduction to what Haskell is about.
