Don't skip K&R. Probably read both. They're both pretty short.

A really, really good one is Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment. But, it's pretty expensive.

APUE does not teach C, but the Unix API. Granted, it is an excellent resource for people interested in such OS family.

K&R is a great resource which covers a lot beyond the syntax, but is obviously dated from the standard's perspective.
