David, Allow me to remind you that while reading the books recommended by the people here is important, it is also _very_ important (I'd say crucial) to actually write C _code_. While learning a programming language you will often note that even if you understand the concepts from reading the book it will enlighten you way more if actually try and write code for that same concept. Try to motivate yourself to write small projects using C code, don't just rely on the book examples. Bottom line is, reading books is no substitute to writing code.
