Gödel, Escher, Bach

I liked this book, but skipped the Bach, and most of Escher parts. They seemed like a stretch.

I found "I am a strange loop" to be fantastic. It is about Godel.

I think the Bach and Escher parts really drove it home for me. To see how actually completely different people from different disciplines came to understand and communicate the essence of the spurious loop and eventually the paradox.

Exactly. Reading it as "what does this book able to do." Instead of "what is this book doing for me"
