Then maybe it would be a good idea to go ahead and read K&R and then afterwards read Zed's book?

K&R is a seminal work. I think it should at least be read because every C programmer has read it -- and so you are on common ground. Also, it is a better reference (has the grammar, precedence tables, etc.)

To learn C -- I'd recommend LCTHW.
