Jack has written a dozen books about programming in C
starting with his "C Programming Guide" of 1983.
With the author active in this forum, you can try pinging him with a direct message
if you get stuck when reading his books.?
K&R C worked for me, I found it very concise, well organized, and self consistent,
starts out assuming very little background knowledge.?
Rather like reading a good math or physics book.
Some of the concepts took a day to fully come to grips with after reading
the brief description in K&R, other books will give such material a more
verbose treatment.

I learned C from K&R, too, and paid $8.95 for it back in the 70's. However, it is not the perfect book for everyone...no book is perfect for everyone. I've had thousands tell me they tried to use K&R to learn C, but couldn't. Other books, written in a different style, worked better for them. It really depends upon the individual, their preferences, and background.
