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

5.0

Well, it's a real tome. It's about the best explanation of Goedel's incompleteness theorem and its implications there is, but it also introduces you to so much more. Took me about 5 months to get through it, but well worth it - even though the last chapter got a little silly in places (and he was wrong about chess).
