Rated Functional Programming in Scala 8/10

Great book covering the pure or haskelish flavor (in a good sense of it) of functional programming with examples in Scala. Good introduction to functors, monoids, monads, applicative functors etc. I really liked the approach of gradual refactoring towards abstractions as needed. It helped me to realize that the real value of monads is not purely theoretical but in fact just elimination of duplicate code.
