Ulysses, James Joyce.
I suppose it's not that long, but I've heard it's extremely dense, so I guess to understand it properly it would take a month maybe

It's very long, my edition is upward of 900 pages. And it's more than "dense," it's genuinely challenging even to literature professors. I took a year-long course where we did one chapter a week and in terms of the time you had to put into it it was more like a language course than a literary one. But it's more than worth the effort.

yes I didn't go nearly that deep but I made an effort to understand the whole thing and read it together with several sources of annotations to understand all main references and it took ****ing months (months of reading on weekends, that is). worth every minute though

I've never listened to major rock acts like Dylan, Zeppelin, or the Stones, but I recall "Sympathy for the Devil" being played throughout the 1998 film, Fallen and it was used to great effect.

This sounds great, my favorite genre of films is "dark, tWisTed 90s thrillers I would watch on TV late at night as a kid"

This one from 2000 is the goat

I don't know. I'm not much of a daredevil.

Too many to count. Most of them were nice.

Since I don't have a loved one, I don't have to answer that one

1. What's the most stupid and/or dangerous dare you've ever accepted?
I'm notoriously susceptible to dares so I've done a few dumb things as a teenager but never serious, things like disturbing another class during a free period or knocking hats off strangers heads
2. As far as you can remember, how many sets of neighbours have you had and what were they like?
I guess 9. Two of them were nasty frustrated alcoholics, most of them were mildly annoying but fine I guess, I'm generally indifferent to them and don't like to socialise with neighbours. But the ones I have now are pretty nice, we have barbecues sometimes and it's fine. Two houses ago my neighbours were students who spend all of lockdown getting stoned on their roof (they had a flat roof), bless them
3. What is the one thing you would NOT do for your loved one?
Plenty of things, anything that's too far against my principles
4. What new genre of music have you got into in the last few years?
Jazz, ambient, a few African music genres
5. What was your favourite poster on your wall when you were young?
An Abbey Road poster that I still have
6. Name one thing you have only started doing recently?
I've picked up embroidering again

1. What's the most stupid and/or dangerous dare you've ever accepted?

I don't think I've ever accepted a dare that was in any way, shape or form dangerous.

2. As far as you can remember, how many sets of neighbours have you had and what were they like?

I lived in 4 apartments so far. So 4 sets of neighbours.
Some of them were nice and calm, some were a real pain in the ass.

3. What is the one thing you would NOT do for your loved one?

It depends on how much I love that loved one.
I suppose I'd never do anything that would harm me or someone else.

4. What new genre of music have you got into in the last few years?

I'm 22, and got really interested in music 6-7 years ago. So I suppose I got into everything I listen to in the last few years.

5. What was your favourite poster on your wall when you were young?

I don't know if it counts as a poster, but until I moved to France two months ago I had this picture sticked on my bathroom door.

6. Name one thing you have only started doing recently?

Going to jazz concerts every single day (I've found a club that has free entrance, and they play 7/7)
