[Tutor] Suggestions for a good book on functional programming

[Israel Evans]

	In a somewhat related vein, but not really, I'm interested in any
good logic programming resources.  Something along the lines of Prolog or
Mercury except using python.  I don't even know if Python has the facilities
for such an exercise, but it would be pretty neat and educational.

  Has anyone developed any sorts of Logic extensions to python?  Does python
have logic programming-like stuff? Are there any definitive books on the
subject?  Are there any less definitive but artist friendly resources out
there?

Sorry to piggy back on your post, but you reminded me of my interest. :)

Subject: [Tutor] Suggestions for a good book on functional programming

Since i started python, i have been fascinated by this feature. Now i find
Java very boring.
I have found some of the discussions in tutor to to be very informative.
Since most of the guys here have programmed on a pure functional
languages before, can someone suggest a good book (haskell, scheme anything
is fine)
for the same. If i have to buy one which one w'd you recommend?

Yesterday i came across a title:

Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell
..Bird

any ideas as to whether it is good?

regards,
karthik.
