Decided to get serious about learning C#. Maybe someone will recommend a good book that he himself once used to study ...
Thank you.

The best work with a complete introduction to the language and its subtleties plus usage is by E. Troelsen. In Russian, this is "The C # 2008 programming language and the .NET 3.5 platform."
After studying Troelsen, it is mandatory to read the cult book of dotneters: Jeffrey Richter, “CLR via C#”.
And then it is already necessary to focus on specific technologies. If you are interested in ASP.NET, then this is Dino Esposito, if WPF - Charles Petzold. Etc.

I really liked C# 4.0 in a Nutshell , Joseph Albahari & Ben Albahari
Informative, concise and to the point.

Jeffrey Richter - CLR via C#. Programming on the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 in C#.

Trey Nash - Accelerated C#
I can also recommend Fowler, although this has nothing to do with the direct study of the syntax of the language.

The examples above are good enough serious books for people who are already familiar with programming and languages. It all depends on your level. If you want to learn from scratch, I can recommend books from the HeadFirst series. They are very accessible written for beginners.

G. Schildt traditionally writes quite good books (more precisely, reference books, but nevertheless) on C, incl. and in C#

I am familiar enough with PHP to write web applications, and as far as I know, PHP and C# are similar. With # sign at a very low level.
Thanks everyone for the advice! Especially

As a reference, I can advise "Modern practice of programming in Visual Basic and C #" (F. Balena, D. Dimauro).
