I read GEB cover to cover and haven’t stopped thinking about it for years. Not a brag, a nudge that it’s not impenetrable and more people should read it.

I read it cover to cove back in the day and enjoyed it. But I'm not sure more people should read it today.

If they do and enjoy it, good for them! But many parts haven't aged all that well.

However, I can still very warmly recommend 'The Pleasures of Counting' to this very day.

I’m working on it every day during lunch break. Good old hardcopy.

I read it on my honeymoon 25 years ago. That book sticks with you.

It's been years since I cracked open a copy, maybe I should give it another shot.
