I've worked with Java and C++ for several years, but I need to learn C for a project I'm doing this summer. Having heard many good things about K&R2, I picked it up and I'm astounded at the clarity of the piece.
By today's standards, it does have a few fairly academic examples (if I wanted to convert fahrenheit to celsius, I would use google), but otherwise it has excellent examples of functional code written in a concise style to clearly demonstrate how to use the language to get things done.
The author mainly seems to be implying that K&R2 is "totally not related to what [the author is] doing right now as a programmer in some company."
