Hofstadter, Douglas -- I Am A Strange Loop
Hofstadter writes more Hofstadter. I'm okay with that; it's been a
while. He gets back to the ideas about consciousness that were
presented in GEB, without all the mathematical and artistic
digression along the way. (If you liked the digressions, well,
that's what GEB was for.) Like Le Ton beau..., this book is about
his personal life -- in particular the loss of his wife -- as much as
about philosophy. This may seem strange, but all the way back to
GEB, Hofstadter has been the most personal of theorists. I don't
agree with everything in Strange Loop, but whatever it is, I am
interested that Hofstadter thinks so.
