You poor schmuck.  Schildt is The Anti-Ritchie.
Here is a book list from the C FAQ:
"There are far too many books on C to list here; it's impossible to rate
them all. Many people believe that the best one was also the first: The C
Programming Language, by Kernighan and Ritchie (``K&R,'' now in its second
edition). Opinions vary on K&R's suitability as an initial programming text:
many of us did learn C from it, and learned it well; some, however, feel
that it is a bit too clinical as a first tutorial for those without much
programming background.

An excellent reference manual is C: A Reference Manual, by Samuel P.
Harbison and Guy L. Steele, now in its fourth edition.

Though not suitable for learning C from scratch, this FAQ list has been
published in book form; see the Bibliography.

Mitch Wright maintains an annotated bibliography of C and Unix books; it is
available for anonymous ftp from ftp.rahul.net in directory pub/mitch/YABL/.

This FAQ list's editor maintains a collection of previous answers to this
question, which is available upon request. See also question 18.9."

I would also like to mention K. N. King's book (see my Sig.), the C FAQ book
(see my Sig.) and Dietel & Dietel as valuable reference works.
