Pink noise is the soothing stuff, like rainfall.
Some people mistakenly call this "White noise". That's unnatural garbage, like static.

A military treatise summing up the military experiences prior to and during the mid-Warring States period (475 BC - 221 BC).
Two editions of translations were released, and this publication includes everything:
The 15 chapters from 1975's Part II, which were excised for that 1985 edition.
If this is what I think it is, then I first read this as The Second Art of War and found it a much better read than its predecessor. I was never able to find a book with that title.
Note: I've read the author died in 310 BC, and I haven't seen a more accurate date for this book.

The son of a billionaire family survives them in a plane crash in the Himalayas, and returns after being raised by monks only to find their ancient enemies throughout his old home and business. Basically Marvel's Batman.
At first I was going to ignore this series, because the Iron Fist trailer made it look like utter trash, but the YUR A WHITE MALE "mainstream liberal media" response made me interested.
Even though the superhero genre is generally tiring, this show is well worth watching, and its response is a beautiful example of fake news manufactured by "social" "justice".

In a forest where any who die rise as zombies, an escaped convict does something something.
I got 1/3 in and got bored. It's too over-the-top.

Collections of science fiction short stories, curated by.. people I don't know and who have no authority in my mind. They came into being pre-internet and still cling to relevancy.
I was excited to find these, but their stories are hit-and-miss.
TODO - import more of its archived text
This is on my list of books to re-read.

A book on the history of the demoscene.
This is on history and itself has become a collectable piece of it. I bought and read this years ago.. probably in 2007 or thereabouts.
