Im learning C using a book called "Computer Programming in C" by V.RAJARAMAN.
It assumes you're a complete beginner and it explains everything thoroughly.
But C is not an easy language for a beginner. It is not for the impatient and easily demotivated. You might want to start by learning Visual Basic, because it is easier and you can make a usefull application in no time with it. It's user friendly. I think it's usually an alternative for C/C++ in the current 'market', so it's highly possible that you will stick with it. Good luck.

Tell whoever is telling you that you have to learn Java first to f*ck off.
Dude what are you talking about, VB an alternative to C/C++? That's not even a viable conclusion to come to. VB is like the, well I didn't want to take the time to learn a real language deal.. Don't learn VB instead of C/C++, it's just going to teach you bad practices. Who cares if C/C++ are a little bit more difficult to become acclimated with, it's just going to help you out in the long run

I was speaking in a matter of opinion. At the end of the day it's his choice. If he choses to go with C then he as a beginner might be scared away from programming. As much as I'd enjoy that (reducing competition), Im still morally obliged to give him some honest opinion. He might want to start with an easier language that is more user-friendly with easier syntax to understand so it puts him into the programming mood and programming way of thinking. He can later switch to C and actually compare which is better suited to his uses. It's his choice and he has all the time in the world, there's no rush.

Languages that I have seen used as "first languages" include C, C++, Java, Pascal, Delphi, and VB. O'Reilly press has some excellent books for learning new languages.

You can buy/download the eBook "Introduction to Java Programming:Comprehensive version, 6th Edition".
It's a really good book that covers a lot of subjects in Java.
I'd really recommend you buy it.
Edit:
Oh dam, I didn't notice that you want to study C. Sorry. :x
