i figure if anyone could make a good recommendation it would be you guys.
i need to do some work with C to understand it a little better before i go off and attempt my major but really haven't the foggiest of what book i should try. the local book stores really don't have anything and amazon reviews are all over the place.
so any you guys would recommend?

K&R is THE book.
But you MIGHT want to start programming c with an arduino... working on a microcontroller might give you a better understanding of how the low level interaction occurs.
Also later on the best book for UNIX / C programming... Stevens Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment ( wiley ).
And Stevens Network Programming for tcp/ip communication in C.
Pretty much Biblical.
And beyond those... there's the literal programming bible... Knuth's The Art of Programming series.
