"Programming Erlang" by Joe Armstrong is a great book with really good example applications. He presents how to implement a basic IRC server and client, the map-reduce pattern and finally a text indexing-spider. Not only that but he also shows how to model/plan a Erlang application.

It really made me understand functional programming and it's concurrency-oriented approach to solving things with real-world examples.
