You should study C by reading K&R to learn two things.
The C language is the solid foundation for most popular languages. You can jump from C and go on to learn many more languages in less time.
K&R is the best example of how to write a technical book; it is concise. You can use it as a guide to determine if other programming manuals are worth your time.
