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.

I'm not sure if it's an actual error, but I would regard it as bad style, since 'allow' should take a direct object. In addition, the verb form 'allows' and later pronoun 'it' disagree with the plurality of 'non-strict semantics'. I prefer “Having non-strict semantics allows bypassing undefined values …” or “Non-strict semantics allow bypassing undefined values …”.
