Which, if any, of these books are worth buying?

  Don't bother with any of these until you're read K&R.

    I'm wanting to learn C++. Is it still worth it to start off with K&R? Obviously I would probably go through K&R later, but it might be better to start off with something more relevant.

      If you're already a programmer, I'd recommend this book: http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/ http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/ It shares some of the same qualities of K&R (short, concise) but is specific to C++, is a good book in general, and won't swamp you.

  Practical C Programming was my introduction text into the world of programming and I found it to be very good. K&R is also a great book if you want to start C
