Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter

5.0

This is one of those books which can't be read fast and you have to understand the author's point of view because the ease with which this slips into indepth discussions about the roots of music, maths and art(?) requires that we understand what the author is trying to tell. So, a handy tip to anyone who decides to pick this up, don't expect it to get over quickly if you are really trying to understand the discussions and start with the author's introduction.
