On a more serious note, GEB is no longer a favorite of mine, although I like most of it. I often recommend “Le Ton beau de Marot” though, which is Hofstadter’s best IMO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Ton…
How dare this person criticize “Gödel, Escher, Bach”, the first non-fiction book I truly loved? What’s next? Claiming the poems in “LotR” are boring? The “Star Wars” plot is full of holes? “The Matrix” makes no sense?
