For learning C I strongly recommend C: A Reference Manual (Harbison and Steele), not K&R. Read K&R for context, sure, but Harbison and Steele is more up-to-date and comprehensive while still a concise language reference. That book can basically answer almost any question about the language standard that isn't compiler-specific. http://www.amazon.com/Reference-Manual-Samuel-P-Harbison/dp/013089592X http://www.amazon.com/Reference-Manual-Samuel-P-Harbison/dp/...
