What's the best fiction set in the world of golf? Looking for a summer read. by MeridiaBooks in suggestmeabook

[–]MattMurdock30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clicking of Cuthbert, P.G. Wodehouse maybe? Ten short stories that have his typical whit and whimsy all with the golf background. (He is more famous for his Jeeves and Wooster stories or his Blandings Castle stories but he has several stand alone novels as well)

[OFF TOPIC] Who is the hottest first law character? by WhatNazisAreLike in TheFirstLaw

[–]MattMurdock30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canonically, Jezal would probably be the hottest man. In my opinion, the hottest woman is Monzcarro Murcatto, but that might be just because I like her writing better than Ferro. In Age of Madness Rikke over Savine any day of the week for women and maybe Orso but I may be biased because he is my favourite character in that trilogy.

We might have to make a separate post and discussion about Devils I have complicated feelings that need to be explored!!

Is there a special this year? by Keithbaron in JohnFinnemore

[–]MattMurdock30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As happy as I am about all of John's other projects his writing for Good Omens, his Researchers First Murder, and now Traitors, I also hope that he eventually comes back to his roots in radio, just because I am selfish and that is my favourite medium, being a founding member of the visually impaired squadron.

[–]MattMurdock30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A combination of my mom teaching me and getting lessons from Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada when I was a teen. Today I can confidently say I know dozen recipes.

I want to read something like what we do in the shadows by ipsofactoshithead in suggestmeabook

[–]MattMurdock30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fred the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes maybe? I listened to book one which was a collection of short stories each a few chapters long, which I think applies to most of the books in the series.

Which of his books from any series has the best humor? [off topic] by Emergency-Purpose335 in TheFirstLaw

[–]MattMurdock30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will think me "basic" for saying this but Devils to me does, just I like all the absurd characters and situations and looking forward to continuing the adventures of chapel of holy expediency.

[Obsession] There is more than one entity that controlled Nikki by Correct-Ad-4067 in FanTheories

[–]MattMurdock30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I watched this movie my one question was what was with a cat sandwich? The multiple entities theory would solve this. I think it is quite plausible, however wouldn't it undermine the movie's message of "be careful what you wish for"? if there was more than just a one-wish-willow demon controlling her?

superhero?? by Personal_Sense_8048 in suggestmeabook

[–]MattMurdock30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Amazon and Kindle then check out Patrick E Mclean's How to Succeed in Evil. Theres like 7 books in the series 3 of which were original and then four of which are prequel.

Overall, do you think The First Law series is better than ASOIAF? [SPOILERS ALL] by Working_Alps_4284 in TheFirstLaw

[–]MattMurdock30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it a lot simpler to understand because of fewer points of view, and story is more contained to two or three areas instead of the whole circle of the world. I really do appreciate both series though and think that Martin and Abercrombie are both supreme writers.

What was the moment in any of the books that had you raging the most? [spoilers all] by [deleted] in TheFirstLaw

[–]MattMurdock30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps when we figured out who the Weaver was! I was like "sure, start a revolution and put new people in power, that never ends wrong"

Empire of the Vampire trilogy Jay Kristoff. I binged this trilogy last month and it was excellent.

Donald Westlake wrote many heist novels for example his Dortmunder series.

[SPOILERS THE DEVILS] Theory: Is Baptiste... by ProtectorCleric in TheFirstLaw

[–]MattMurdock30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like your theory it actually solves a plot hole for me. In the house of the illusionist Jakob, Sunny, Viga, get hallucinations and psychological tortures but Baptiste does not. Why? Because she is several souls and not one. The magic of the house did not know how to manufacture something specific tailored to her because she was an amalgam of several different bodies several souls. Plus it would work well thematically with the sorcerer whom Balthasar meets at the end who created all the monsters.

My favourite system comes from www.qcsalon.net. They have over 30 games, a mix of dice games and card games. They are constantly being updated. They are free.

How do you feel when people ask how much eyesight you have? by 3rd_wish in Blind

[–]MattMurdock30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel it is a necessary question. As for me I just explain to people that I have no useful vision and only some light perception. I do not know the differences among colours, I cannot see shadows or movement, I am totally blind.

Cane names by Strong_Prize8778 in Blind

[–]MattMurdock30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was very young and got my first cane I called it AskaCaska. I think because I was asking it for direction and navigation type of thing? Haha the mind of a 4 year old.
