After Seven Matches

So I beat a fellow 14 kyu player by 40. I played white. I think I may actually be a 13 kyu like KGS (now) says I am. I really feel like I'm seeing the board well. I understand better now how to make moves count for more than one battle at once. I do have some crazy battles with hyper aggressive players. I'm doing more work on goproblems. Apparently I'm better at tseuji than life and death. Anybody know of any good life and death english language books?

Not that I have time for this.

Alright, I have a question about 4x4 joseki. I approach on the third line with a knights approach. More often than not, my opponent attaches to that stone on a 3X5 space. I play attach to my own stone on the fourth line then make a base with my next move. I know this exchange is bad for my opponent but I can't figure out why? Am I supposed to play behind the original stone with a 3x3 play for life in the corner? Any help would be useful.
