You can't deny that most .NET applications are written in C#, most programming books are in C#, you have java, javascript, actionscript, and many more languages based off of the c syntax. I think it's very worthwhile for every developer to learn how to get around in c style code.

No problem.
No doubt, learning C-like languages is a good idea but that they are "easier" is debatable. Let's just agree to disagree about that. ;)
As far as books go, I've found an adequate number of them using both languages. Seems to depend on the type of subject-matter. I might say that "most" are C#, but I wouldn't say that's a large "most". From what I've found at the bookstore in recent days it might be 55/45 in favor of C#.
Either languages is fine, really - particularly in .Net. They both do, essentially, the same thing.
