Anyway, what would you suggest I start with as a starting point then. as apparently Rosetta Stone is a waste of time?

I'm more interested in the reading side, as opposed to speaking. Although I'd like to speak it, reading and listening are my priority.

I'd like to get used to the sentence structure and learn things without having to constantly stick my nose in a dictionary.

Any other books?

Japanesepod101.com?

Should I avoid language learning programs, such as Pimsleur?

Thanks.
