I learned C from the original K&R book as well. It's an amazingly
good book to learn from. I was intimidated by C initially, but the K&R
book made it all easy.
Even now, every time I come across someone who "doesn't understand
pointers" because they're "too hard" (WTF? one of the simplest concepts
in computing!), I teach them via the K&R book, and they "get it" almost
immediately.
