I work on Clang and the Linux kernel. JavaScript was the first language I feel I've mastered, before C. Of the many C books I have and have read, I only recommend 2:

Head First C by Griffiths and Griffiths

Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets by van der Linden

The first is an excellent introduction, especially if you treat it as a workbook.

The second is a great intermediate book.

Really advanced stuff comes from seeing things in the wild.
