Email is good because it's a little more flexible. No time variable to
take into account.

|
|Kernighan&Richie
|Practical C programming (O'Reilly)
|  A Book on C by Al Kelley and Ira Pohl.
|C, A Reference Manual
|Expert C Programming Deep C Secrets Author Peter Van Der Linden
|The Pragmatic Programmer Author Andrew Hunt and David Thomas
|Dietel and Dietel

I'd like to use the one that has more unix/linux related examples. The
more practical the better.
