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

3.0

Holy shit....I feel equal parts smarter and dumber for Bataan death-marching myself through this. My takeaway is that there are tremendously gifted people in the world that I, heretofore and pretentiously, thought I was part of. This book made me realize I am closer to a toddler in intellect to that of the author. My brain cramped on each and every page but I applaud anyone who can get through this and say; “...makes sense.” I’m just happy to be able to finally close the book and tell other people they are missing out.
