K&R. (You have the second edition, right?)

A good starting point is <http://www.c-faq.com/resources/books.html>.

(Note that Harbison & Steele's _C: A Reference Manual_ is in its fifth
edition; the FAQ incorrectly says its in it fourth. I've sent a
correction to Steve Summit.)

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

Expert C Programming by Peter van der Linden was quite good. I should
note that there is no such thing as "the best book".

I spend my time on K&R these days.
The NO.1 of BEST.
