+1. I have a corner of a bookshelf reserved for everything Kernighan, e.g. both Software Tools editions, both C Language editions, The Unix Programming Environment, The Practice of Programming, The AWK Language, even a copy of The Elements of Programming Style. I, and my employers and clients, may owe more to Mr. Kernighan for his teaching and programming style, than anyone else.

The exposure most people have to prolog in school is about a chapter in the "programming languages" course.

Yes, pick any book and work through it from page 1 to the end. Preferable 3!
Read and pour through the manuals for whatever interpreter & compiler you use.
Be warned, Prolog will ruin you, you shall be able to slay dragons and at the same time you most likely will not enjoy programming in "modern languages" anymore.
