Diving into C

Hello people.

Quick question for you pedagogues out there...

I'm planning on learning some C as an introductory language, having done just a bit of basic and html in my youth, and having knowledge of algorithms from mathematics.

Does anyone have any pointers to some good books or sites for C (books preferred)?
By "good" I mean neophyte-friendly and easy to read.

Well the deal is I'm a philosophy and physics student who is more of a specialist in philosophy of mind, cognition& epistemology, and Logic & semantic analysis. One of my friends thinks I'd do pretty well in a her Nat. Lang. Processing group. Although this isn't exactly my field it's a nice option to keep open.

Anyway, thing is I need a bit more mastery of the whole programming logic mindset. She told me to take a good look at C over the summer, as that would develop the sturdy reflexes I might need. So yeah, I'm staying well away from the complexity of OO stuff.

I've found an O'Reilley book. Might buy it, they're pretty good writers.
