Gödel, Escher, Bach - 10/10

Fucking work of art. I’m surprised with how well written something like this is. Hofstadter’s ability to tie in all these diverse areas and subjects into a cohesive thesis that is the structure of reality, self, mind, etc. is absolutely incredible. 

Clear and beautifully well-written enough where you can stop and contemplate without feeling lost from reading dry writing on such a topic like you would from a scholar. 

TIP: Read this like you would read Peter Ralstons books.

Reading this at the moment. Definitely loving the theoretical aspects and multi-disciplinary approach.

Direct experience through some psychedelics has been much more satiating for me personally though.
