Query: Best programming book I've seen

First, I'm not a programmer, but a mere hobbyist who has desired to learn a real programming language (i.e. other than BASIC or HTML) for a long time. I've attempted several books in the past with no success, because they lost my attention one may or another--they were boring, too advanced, or otherwise poorly written.Greg's book is none of those. It's fairly short (less than 400 pp), with small chapters each covering a new topic in C. The book somehow manages to keep your attention and is fairly entertaining. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to really understand programming. No, C is not frequently used by most programmers these days, but most popular languages are based on C, so this is a good primer.
