Note: This is for C not C++

Well I just got C Programming Language (2nd Edition) you know the big daddy of all C programming books. Now that I have all of that covered, are there any other good books I should pick up that will help advance my knowledge of C? Or programming in general?

After k&r you should probably start haunting a few forums and doing a few projects that interest you. While doing that you can do small tutorials on specific subjects that are easy to learn like linked lists.
I read k&r to learn C and after words spent the next year or two getting chewed out on forums for making stupid mistakes, eventually I found some specific subjects related to C that interested me and bought books relating to them.

Just read a few forums and even if you can't think of anything to do you can always just wait until someone posts their homework and then go do it on your own without posting the answer.

That is good that you have covered all the basic of the c programming. Now according to me you should search some project on the google then do practice of that. Now practice is only way which will increase you programming knowledge.

If you're interested in GUI programming, you could look into the GTK+ library.

You may want to read some style guidelines as well, such as Amazon.com: C Elements of Style: The Programmer's Style Manual for Elegant C and C++ Programs: Steve Oualline: Books and Amazon.com: The Elements of C Programming Style: Jay Ranade, Alan Nash: Books. There are also a lot of books that can be helpful here: Free C EBooks, Download Free C Books, Free C online books, C tutorial

WingedPanther do you know of any books that focus on hardware?

[WingedPanther]

Sorry. I don't really care about hardware, so haven't looked into it.
