The C23 edition of Modern C

I was going to ask if there is a good list of C books and then answered my own question. It categorizes _Modern C_ as Intermediate level.

Note that this is not a complete list, fwiw. For example, I doesn't include "Effective C." [1].

I like "Effective C" over "Modern C" because it's more engaging ... "Modern C" is super rigorous and feels a bit like reading an annotated spec of the language, which is what an expert may need, but makes for a dull read for a casual C user like me.

I like Modern C. I have reviewed it favorably in several places. I agree it is intermediate.

I think 21st Century C by Ben Klemens and C Programming a Modern Approach by King are both more approachable alternatives as a modern C companions to K&R.

I agree, but I think Modern C has good, structured recommendations that make it worth getting through at least once.
