I have been looking around on amazon.ca, but they have something like 1000 titles in their "C & C++ Programming" section which makes it very hard to decide.
The one book I did like is "Programming with C: A Modern Approach" which I borrowed from my friend, but I do not have the $100 to buy it online and he wanted it back.

Welcome to the only language worth knowing!
It's got a steep learning curve, but it's oh-so-worth it.
The best book is, hands down,
the beloved "K&R" book. Whatever you pay for it, it's worth it. (Make sure you get the ANSI C version.) Oh, and use a standards compliant compiler, like GCC. Have Fun! Feel free to PM me questions. I highly reccommend the exercises in that book.
PS:
This site is great!
