I read The Awk Programming Language shortly after K&R and came away with the idea that I should consider reading whatever Kernighan (co)wrote. I don't think I got further than The Practice of Programming but that was three winners in a row...

I second this. I would include The Go Programming Language as well. I will buy any book the Kernighan has had a hand in writing.
