Twenty years after it topped the bestseller charts, Douglas R. Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is still something of a marvel. Besides being a profound and entertaining meditation on human thought and creativity, this book looks at the surprising points of contact between the music of Bach, the artwork of Escher, and the mathematics of Gödel. It also looks at the prospects for computers and artificial intelligence (AI) for mimicking human thought. For the general reader and the computer techie alike, this book still sets a standard for thinking about the future of computers and their relation to the way we think.

I don't think I've ever gotten more than halfway through that book, but it is incredible all the same.

Good book. Watzlawick's other books are also good reads. Just about all of them deal with paradoxes in communication resulting from the creation of categories. _Change_ is another interesting book by him in this general area.

Fiction: The Wheel of Time series, all 10 ( so far), by Robert Jordan. I've read them so many times, I've replaced each book at least once.

Non-Fiction: Down to This. Can't remember the authors name. About a guy that spends a year living in Tent City in Toronto, just before they all got evicted. Fabulous.
