Greetings forum,

I now have a casio ex-word 6900 denshi jisho to which books from aozora may be uploaded and read, with the ability to jump to the definition of any unknown word directly from the text.

Question: is there a recommended reading order for the books on aozora ?
(I'm slightly above the jlpt 3kyuu level)

if there isn't some such order, could some of the gurus on the forum create one ?

Or at least, a list for beginners ?
or any recommendations at all ?

If you haven't already, I would recommend finishing RTK1 first.
If the books are for native speakers, it's gonna be tough no matter
which book you choose.

Anyway, good luck with your studies.

I have finished RTK1 once. (while making a homebrew app for the nintendo DS for accelerating the rtk1 process. I'm still halfway through the actual app development, but I did enter a 'structure descriptor' for all the kanji in rtk1 by hand. (from which the user should make his story. And as a hint for recalling the primitive position, story and the actual kanji. ))

And am halfway through anki on a rtk1 review round.

AFTER RTK1 but before all the yomikata stick and associate themselves with the vocabulary corpus in my head, is the time where a graded list (or -any- recommendations based on interest; from readers of texts on aozora ) would be helpful to decide what to read first.

If it isn't there, then as and when I read anything from aozora - I will type out a hiragana description and an english description, for the people between rtk1 and rtk2.

thanks once again (and in anticipation)!

This is my first time even looking at the aozora site. It looks really good. Looking forward to recommendations (or finding my own).

Granted, I'm reading "20th Century Boys" manga. It lacks furigana, but I want to get the first seven books under my belt before I see the first movie.

Interesting, I've never heard of the site. I think a list of beginner stuff would be really good.
