K&R C has been the best technical book I have read.
Maybe outdated but still does work.

Any of the "In a Nutshell" series books.
They skip the fluff of traditional programming books and focus specifically on the language.

Like if you pick up "Java in a Nutshell", it doesn't waste the time to tell you what a for-loop is, it just says "here's how to do a for-loop in Java" with a block of code for an example.

This, the C one from Oreally is based, but I'm not sure if there is a new edition including C11.

Why are there cows on Orly C books? I have the "C Pocket Reference" and there's a bovine on the cover also.

(Interestingly, "Linux in a Nutshell" has a horse, while "Linux Pocket Guide" has a cowboy - is there some sort of pattern/allegory system here?)
