Current Number of Library Entries: 72

This page is a collection of written media that I have read and liked.

  • This page is NOT a source for the media(As much as I would like it to be) Because the normal sources for these documents are all paid, and I'm not a corporate shill.
    • Note: If you want to read any of them, though, try Internet Archive! It's free!
  • If you can't find them on the I.A. message me at "pwy11@proton.me". They might be among the entries that are only saved to my computer
  • None of these are my writing, those can be found on the blog page
