Zakennayo!: The Real Japanese You Were Never Taught in School

Rating:
Summary: It's not linguistics, but it's very funny.
Review: Zakennayo is a refreshing romp through Tokyo in the disguise of a book about slang. It's delightfully politically uncorrect and pokes fun at nearly everyone, from gaijin adventurers to the gatekeepers of Japan's insular culture. A fun read for a rainy day or any day in Japan.
