Look at the comp.lang.* newsgroups. 

Also, there's very good we site at:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/

Rob Pike's style paper and Henry Spencer's Ten Commandments are essential
reading for fledgling C programmers. 

"Kernighan's Lament" (his critique of Pascal) is amusing, and definitely
part of The Lore.

When the email about "Duff's Device" starts making sense, you've learned C.
We once asked candidates for a "senior programmer" job to explain Duff's 
Device, and many couldn't.
