(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 air traffic control. However, I only want to be able to look at and talk to pilots, I have no current need for separating aircraft or ensuring their safety (no doubt I'll still learn it on the way). Reason? Airplanes are the shit and maybe some day I'll get to go up to one and actually touch it with my hand. in before "lol planes go BOOM", my automated response to that: "Fuck off."

Current proficiency:

Can look out the control tower windows 100%.
Can put on a radio headset 100%, and decent enough at pressing the PTT switch.
CANNOT control aircraft in the tower pattern at all, especially when only one is in my airspace.
Is aware of the difficulty of anticipated separation, special VFR, and issuing clearances... but does not know much about it.

Anyone have any decent air traffic control links or download resources (textbooks, audiobooks etc)?

I'm currently going through my old high school textbooks and a FAAO 7110.65 for Dummies book. I need a decent hardcopy pilot/controller glossary though, know a good one?.

Thanks.
