Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You (Power Japanese Series) (Kodansha's Children's Classics) by Jay Rubin

This is one of those books that completely changes your perspective on everything
after you read it.

Definitely a must-read.

I have also read this book. Unfortunately I read it at the beginning of last year, when I was only a few weeks into starting to learn Japanese. While I found the book interesting, most of it was beyond my ability to take on board as I had nothing to attach it to. I still have it in my book case and plan to read it again later when I've got some more Japanese under my belt.
