The MIT discussion (see yesterday's item) included Guy Steele. One of his books is the excellent C, A Reference Manual (which I'd recommend above K&R).
Since C doesn't get much of a mention here, I thought I'd also take the chance to recommend Expert C Programming by van der Linden.
Personally, I enjoy writing in C - it's a refreshing change to keep things "simple". The merits of high and low level languages are being discussed in a leisurely manner here.
