C is such a simple language it doesn't /need/ a thick book. When the C books
start getting thick, it's not because of the language but because of the
library and other programming topics (from a C perspective). Neglecting
libraries and general programming topics, the most complicated part of C is
the type system and that can be described nicely on a few pages (and most of
that is examples:).
eg:
int (*)(int)(*foo[32])(int (*)(int));
foo is an array of 32 pointers to functions that take a pointer to a
function taking an int param and returning int and return a pointer to a
function taking an int param and returning int.
Confused yet? :)
