books worth reading

[buda]

I've covered all the basics (K&R, the standard and about 18 months of
experience with C) and I'd like to read something more "advanced" on the
subject of C programming. Which books do you recomend? Thank you.

Sedgewick "Algorithms in C"

Some of the C is broken or has minor faults, but the subject is
algorithms.

C: A Reference Manual by Harbison and Steele...it is a reference manual
but the only book on C I find myself using.

The GNU C Library Reference Manual (2 volumes). It contains a lot of
useful examples for the standard library functions.

A new take on the matter:
How about trying to code something you've never done before. Make a game,
write a phone book program,
create an image viewer or icon program...
Then do some other coding for 6 months and come back to your old code.
Re-reading old (forgotten) code will teach you more about what YOU need than
any book.

Flaws:
Bad code
No/Bad comments ("What was I thinking?!!)
Hold-over code from your last language (The old axiom: "You can write
FORTRAN in any language.")
Bugs you never saw before.

If you have suitable things installed, "info libc" may suffice.
