If someone were to be interested in compilers and the C programming
language, I would also highly recommend _C - A Reference Manual_ by
Harbison and Steele.  This was the book that I used in my undergrad
compiler course a long time ago, and one of the all-time most useful
books on my bookshelf.

Q:  If I write the code int i, j; can I assume that (&i + 1) == &j?
A:  Only sometimes. It's not portable, because in EBCDIC, i and j
    are not adjacent.
