Books 'n' stuff
Rented a U-Haul to get my stuff, finally closing the storage space down after 10 years! Now my new, clean room is full of dusty old boxes, but I have bedding, warm clothes, anime and books again, including all my Japanese dictionaries. Just in time for 2nd-year Japanese.
My favorite new book is Making Sense of Japanese by Jay Rubin - great sense of humor!
Oddly, Amazon lumped Kodansha's fine grammar books with Kodansha's bilingual kids' stories as "Kodansha's Children's Classics" with whimsical children's titles like
-- All About Particles: A Handbook of Japanese Function Words
-- Handbook of Common Japanese Phrases
-- Handbook of Japanese Adjectives and Adverbs
-- Japanese Verbs at a Glance.
