(Re)Learning Japanese (reading only)

Well I decided I'm going to (re)learn Japanese. However, I only want to be able to read and understand Japanese, I have no current need for writing or speaking Japanese (no doubt I'll still learn it on the way). Reason? Manga, TV and movie subtitles, and video games, mostly for reading. in before "WEEABOO", my automated response to that: "Fuck off."

Current proficiency:

Can read & write Hiragana 100%.
Can read & write Katakana 100%, and decent enough at translating it.
CANNOT read & write Kanji at all, outside of numbers.
Is aware of the difficulty of Japanese grammar, levels of politeness, particles etc... but does not know much about it.

Anyone have any decent Japanese-learning links or download resources (textbooks, audiobooks etc)?

I'm currently going through my old high school textbooks and a Genki Vol.1 e-book. I need a decent hardcopy Japanese dictionary though, know a good one?.

Thanks.

Well I decided I'm going to (re)learn cooking. However, I only want to be able to prepare and digest food, I have no current need for chewing and swallowing (no doubt I'll still learn it on the way). Reason? Mostly because I need nutrition to survive. in before "PUT THE FORK DOWN FATTY", my automated response to that: "Fuck off."

Current proficiency:

Can heat water to boiling point 100%.
Can operate simpler cutlery 100%, and decent enough with BBQ accessories.
CANNOT operate oven or stove or anything else necessary for cooking food.
Is aware of the difficulty of frying, simmering, setting the table etc... but does not know much about it.

Anyone have any decent Cooking-learning links or download resources (textbooks, audiobooks etc)?

I'm currently going through my old elementary school textbooks and a Cooking for Dummies e-book. I need a decent hardcopy Cooking manual though, know a good one?.

Thanks.
