Hi fellow MAM anon

Canterbury Tales

Next riddle:

>Forgive me for describing this memoir, of a character that goes on forever, it's illogical and its ways run in circles, but could we understand the world without it? Never.

Story of O

>>10423318
anon pls, sauce me

>>10423429
It's from his other work called Consolation of Philosophy

hello my fellow MAM anon i too am stuck on this riddle

>>10423399
Thought it might be The Neverending Story, but I guess not

>>10423399
maybe life of pi? it's infinite, irrational, and related to circles.

>>10423849
DING DING DING we have a winnder

Clue #7
Some say he was a mouse just like you, but he stood on two feet with eyes of blue He traveled the world in an unusual way, determined his world would have it's day

>>10423867
of mice and men? i forget if goerge or lennie are described as having blue eyes, but i think it fits otherwise.

>>10423878
no luck but a good suggestion

>>10423892
hmm, maybe gulliver's travels then? i think disney did an adaptation with mickey mouse.

>>10423908
other possibilities: flowers for algernon, stuart little?

>>10423908
>>10423943
no dice on any of these unfortunately

Great guesses though. Anybody have more ideas?

>>10424191
how about fuck off and stop trying to use us to crowd source answers to your stupid quiz treasure hunt thing. If you can't win on your own, it's your own problem.

Chaucer

>>10423867
It's Dune. Muad'Dib means mouse in Arrakin.

>>10424451
Correct!

Next, "Hard it is to imagine oneself as a fly, but so much harder is this, it turns saint from sinner, it buds butterfly from chrysalis"

>>10424461
Metamorphosis

>>10424467
Ding ding ding! Now finally, "The first part you will see when you look thru the eyes, of a mother at her child, of a playwright at his poem, of a sculptor at his work of pride. The second is something, no man can claim to be, where people fantasize living, and what sailors hope for in stormy sea."

>>10424477
treasure island?

>>10424531
Yep, that was it

>>10424548
So are you spaghetti or Occams?

Not very good behavior for a newbie, Figwit...
Maybe best to stop bragging.

>>10422501
Can you tell me no 3?

>>10424548
Do you remember the answer for #4 please?

The clue is "
The first part is a sorcerer of healing, good with drug and draft, named after a creature, fabled for its eerie laugh. The second part is a mystery, leaving no shadow nor making a sound, children try to be like him in a game, for he isn't easily found."

>>10426228
Repeat the hint for me, I completed that one.

>>10426255
Can't remember exactly but the first part is about "something in every story since creation, you never see it until the end"? Something like that. The second part I think mentioned apples and ignoring what comes from within.

If that's not enough I'll get the whole clue when I go home

>>10426267
Ah yes, I remember. It mentioned apples that are good inside, but have bad peel.

That's like judging a book by its cover, which is prejudice. I tried "Pride and Prejudice" and it was correct.

>>10426273
Thanks, friend

>>10426276
Np, if you ever solve #4 (I pasted the hint above), please come back here.

"I'll read this letter to everybody here then shoot myself"

*coughs blood*

>>10426280
I think I got it, I think it's Dr j and Mr h. I'll try it when I get home.

>>10426465
Yep, that was it. Thanks.
