The best fundamental C programming book I have read.

This is, by far, the best book for the beginning programmer. The prose is clear and intelligent. The example problems and the exercise problems are interesting. If you are looking for a programming book for the first time, or if you wish you had picked up a good programming book the first time around, then this book is for you.
