I am not sure that it makes it easier to read (since the indentation clearly shows where the block starts and ends), but if it makes sense to you, by all means, use it. Personally, I prefer the K&R style because it keeps all the logic on one line and, as someone else pointed out, it saves one line of display space. But the whole point of C style is that you develop your own. Not every painter is a cubist, some are dadaists (and most are neither). That does not make them better--or worse--just different.
