What book do you think that should be good enough for a beginner to start with C? I tried to read on The C Programming Langauge by K & R, but it's above my programming knowledge. I bought C/C++/C# Programmer's Bible by Jamsa. If you have already heard of it, do you think that should be enough for a beginner to learn the things where The C Programming Language picks up on?
Thank you,

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
"Beginning C" by Ivor Horton.
Geared for beginners, and also shows several real-world problem solving examples. Covers ALL the basics, and then some. Has a clear writing style, that's easy to follow.
