i have read 48 pages of gödel, escher, bach last night
i was up until 01:00! i kept saying “one more page,” but i just couldn’t stop myself
i love the way Hofstadter writes in this book. it doesn’t feel clinical or cold compared to other books of this sort. it feels like he is a friend directly speaking to me about his interests
i didn’t try any of the puzzles (such as the mu puzzle) unfortunately - mostly because i was too tired to solve them
the book also introduced me to concepts i hadn’t yet known about, such as fugues and strange loops
it also made me think about some stuff, such as how babbage would have reacted seeing 2025 (most likely, he wouldnt have expected technology to progress this fast)
possibly becoming my favourite book..
it’s that, or the three christs of ypsilanti…
