It's a classic and certainly taught me a lot.

It's also one of the more slim programming books on my shelf. I've considered handing to to friends interested in programming. Simply because I hand them a Python book with thousands of pages and I can see them visibly cringe.

I also find the K&R style quite readable. :)

I also love K&R's style, it is one of my favourite books about programming
Konig's Traps and Pitfalls, another slim book
