Good luck.
My favorite dictionary by far is the Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary. But really, I find the best way to learn is to find things you enjoy reading that aren't too far above your level, then use rikai chan to create lists of words for review in a program like Anki, or just as a word list. It has a great (but well-hidden) feature: when it is displaying a character if you press C the dictionary entry will be copied to your clipboard. Take it from there and paste it into Anki for review. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I recently bought "Japanese Kanji and Kana: A Complete Guide to the Japanese Writing System" which
has all 2,136 joyo kanji and I'm learning five a day by just writing them down repeatedly :P It's working! http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=33014&PN=1 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Apart from the books recommended here, which I think are really helpful, I'd also recommend just reading some
Japanese books, and Manga without(!) Furigana, as soon as you have some 300, 400 Kanji together. I started reading Manga that had no Furigana after my 1st Semester of Japanese at university (we had done ca. 300 Kanji) and it proved really helpful. It's much easier to remember new Kanji (and words) if you see them in a context you're actually interested in. You may want to start out with children's books (e.g. Aoi Tori Bunko) or light novels (Dengeki Bunko, MediaWorks Bunko, Famitsu Bunko,...) since they have some Furigana to rarer Readings or Kanji that are learnt in Middle School, but it's definitely worth a try. There also seem to be some children's versions of popular novels read by young adults, e.g. I've seen a children's book version of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yûutsu in a bookstore once. In case the books are really the same in terms of expressions, and just the Furigana are different, that might also be great to test if and how much you've improved.
