For C, i'd recommend Kernnigan and Ritchie's classic "The C programming language" [0], and Hanson's "C Interfaces and Implementations" [1]. For Scheme, and programming in general, i wholeheartedly second the SICP recommendation (the videos are great fun too). You can also take a look at my scheme bookshelf [2].
