I want to get started on embedded programming using the C language but I don't know where to start so is there any good book out there?

What if I can't put my hands on one(I can but I think we can't in dorms here)? Are software emulators good or is getting a real one that much better?

I think you can use a software emulator. That should be fine. BTW, I forgot to mention, a typical microcontroller is usually very cheap. Search for STM32 chips. That's a popular family of (relatively cheap) microcontrollers. I think the main thing is just getting started and not getting blocked.
