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.
