On the flip side

So, yesterday, I was complaining about book recommendations. I just had to quit reading a book in a series that both my mom and aunt like, because the characters were all stabbing each other in the back. It is dark, and I think it will actually get better (at least, I'm pretty sure that I can see how the author can resolve some of the issues), but I just can't anymore. People are too petty, trying to undermine each other. This just isn't the stuff I like to read. I want to read about how people work hard to help their friends, not how a husband subtly undermines his wife. So, I stopped reading that and am switching over to a wuxia book, which is like a kung fu movie but in book form. I'm sure there will be some backstabbing, but when it is about whose kung fu is better, I can take it. I was stressing about whether or not all the books in the series would get translated (there are like 12), but it looks like the first five are done and the three after that are scheduled to be. So, we'll see. Of course, this is just me assuming that I'll make it through all these books. Hopefully, there will be plenty of kung fu goodness.
