I have O'Reilly's Practical C Programming by Steve Oualline and think it's pretty good for beginners. He glazes over a lot of stuff in the beginning, but I think that ends up helping in the long run. (Kinda like, "this is how it works" followed later by "okay, this is how it *really* works.") Coupled with the K&R book (especially the standard library reference appendix!), I'm now learning C at a phenomenal rate.
