The C Programming Language by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson

that was my first programming book

the exercise of converting F to C and back hooked me to programming to this day 😅

Same. That book is irreplaceable for me ❤️

Thanks all, have ordered a copy and will see how that works out.

K&R! I remember reading this while sitting at my backyard campfire in 1978. I was an assembly language programmer and had sworn I would never use a big horky language like Pascal. But then, as I read K&R I realized that C was just an abstract assembly language; and I was hooked for life.

I still have my original copy. I keep it in a ziploc bag. It still smells of campfire smoke.
