Thanks, Chris.
I actually have Okasaki's book and thought to mention it in the post as an
example of a book that is too advanced for me. Not to mention, it's in ML.
I'm sure it's a great book, and I could try to slog through it, but it
would be great to have a more introductory level book on algorithms from a
functional perspective.
