Yes.
If you want to learn C and not be a horrible horrible failure like Mr Void you read K&R. This is well established and there is no way around it.
Books often provide the best way to learn a language, providing much more depth and detail than tutorial websites and just guessing.

Sadly, FV doesn't believe in reading books; this causes him to not understand even the most basic language concepts, and, subsequently fail at all his C programming efforts.
What happened to your infinite compression program, FV? Oh, right! You couldn't get it to work because "gcc is buggy".
doh ho ho, how pathetic
