Honestly I like K&R, maybe more for the historicity of it than the learning but it’s good for that too. It also has some intentionally funny bits wedged in there if you read closely enough 😀

I personally liked 21st Century C, it covers how to get up and running with modern C and the ecosystem. Most C textbooks teach syntax and then go "there are libraries you can use to *mumble mumble*", and you're left wondering how to do anything beyond a CLI calculator.
