I was going through my books from when I was tutoring someone in Japanese several years ago (for Az) and came upon this kanji book which lists 1,850 essential kanji characters. I can't scan the pages as the book is getting pretty old and I would really like to prevent damaging it, but I will provide the information to you guys in sets of 20.

-----

Kanji // ON-YOMI (Chinese reading) // kun-yomi (native Japanese reading) // English meaning

Note: Syllables in parentheses must be written in hiragana and are not included in the kanji.

Note 2: Syllables in [] are alternate readings for the kun-yomi.
