A few points FYI:

I am studying 3 books:
  • C Programming: A Modern Approach, 1st Edition, by K.N.King, 1996 (CPaMA)
This is a popular, elaborate study book teaching C programming starting from scratch up to advanced level.
 
  • The C Programming Language,  2nd Edition, by Kernighan & Ritchie,, 1988 (TCPL)
This is THE C programming classic that every C programmer must have read. It is more concise and requires some prior experience.
 
  • Computer Systems: a Programmer's Perspective, 2nd Edition, by Bryant and O'Hallaron, 2010 (CSaPP)
This is a computer science book that explains how C interacts with the computer hardware, through the machine language level, and unto the memory addresses and transistor gates.

 
The completion percentages explained:
Books often have prefaces with Roman numbers and often also lengthy Appendices. In my calculation I include all contents that I effectively study and synthesize.

To reiterate:

These are each book's amounts of pages useful for study
CPaMA, 1Ed = 643 pages
TCPL, 2Ed = 265 pages
CSaPP 2Ed = 1019 pages

This is my progress in terms of percentage
CPaMA, 1Ed = 4.97% completion
TCPL 2Ed = 4.15% completion
CSaPP 2Ed = 0.00% completion

I am now making sure that all posts are having correct and uniform headers.

My aim is to reach at least 50% in the first 2 books and about 200 pages in the third by the end of September.
