For kanji especially, it is nice to have a friend along who can tell you how to pronounce it. There have been so many times that I've already known what the word meant, but couldn't tell what it was because it was written in kanji. It's too bad not all kanji come with furigana.

For a while I was feeling kind of stagnant with my study, but these have given me some inspiration to keep practicing my reading.

I received my books as a gift from a family member, so I think I'll buy a couple more volumes myself, and ask for the others for Christmas as well.

Those are both good books too. I thought Read Real Japanese was a little advanced when I first saw it, but I think these Graded Readers will help me transition into that book. Maybe I'll try that one again after I finish these.

I would translate it as, "Don't try too hard" or more literally, "don't do your best", although I have a feeling it is the first, because the second sounds a little rude; it depends on the context.
