I like your ambition :) you might like to try something lighter first, I 
started out with various versions of BASIC etc before plunging into C 
but that was many years ago....

The definitive guide is Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie's "The C 
Programming Language"

However for actually coding on a day to day basis, this C/C++ reference 
book is invaluable, I have it by my desk and whilst I don't need it that 
much these days it's been very useful over the years.
