As others, I think The C Programming Language<http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131103628> is one the best books for C.
On the same line, for C++ I would suggest The C++ Programming Language<http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-Special/dp/0201700735> as a great resource for understanding the C++ standard. The "Effective" line are good books too, although you don't need that many different books, practicing and reading good people's code is a good way to learn new stuff, you just need one reference so you know what a specific instruction does, as stated above, www.cppreference.com is good for that. But, you may be a book person, so here they are.
