Learn To Read

What is the fastest way to learn to read kanji. Just read not write?
As a non-Japanese, I don’t see the point in writing Japanese. What am I ever going to write? Op-Ed articles in the Asahi shinbun? I don’t think so. I just want to read in the social sciences. So I just want to Learn How To Read kanji. Kana were easy. Perhaps I can just learn to read kanji the same way – phonetically.
The best way to learn kanji is to both read and write. Start with the very basic kanji and practice writing them with the correct stroke order. I find it helps if you create some small cards with the kanji on them, so you can flick through them daily and this really helps you memorize them.
Try and learn a certain amount of kanji each day as this helps you build up your kanji ability. I tried to learn 5 kanji per day or about 20 a week.
The best resource I have found for kanji learning is the Shin Nihongo no Kiso Japanese Kanji Workbook. It starts with the basic kanji and then slowly builds up with lots of practice drills, writing exercises and space to practice the kanji.
