I still consider K&R to be "the" book to learn and appreciate C. Over two decades, I have seen/read several books, but keep coming back to K&R. It isn't just about the language that makes K&R great -- along with the ride also comes valuable (programming) life lessons, experience with terse language (minimum words to express maximum thought), and a lot of historical perspective that most modern books omit. I would also recommend using the Steve Summit's "C Programming Notes" as you work your way through K&R. Pay attention to the "deep sentences". https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/krnotes/top.html https://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/krnotes/top.html And don't skip the exercises at the end of each chapter. The discover of solving the exercises on your own is a revelation that far surpasses any benefit obtained by being told how to do it! :-)
