I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas R. Hofstadter
5.0
When I read this I had started Gödel Escher Bach several times and never finished it, while I think GEB is worth reading this is a more accessible presentation of the central theme in it (though without the marvellous distractions of the carrolian dialogues before each chapter and all the great mathematical excursions along the way).
I did not think I believed it till I found myself describing it to someone else and now love the idea that we carry around low fidelity models of the people we know and love and that being the only immortality any of us has.
