Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom and Urgent Means
Author: William T. Vollmann
It's a 7 volume set, but has a one volume abridged version which is one of the more fascinating and thought-provoking books I have ever read. I rate it very closely to GEB.
Highly recommended.

- nandemo 11y agoPresumably, "Goedel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter. Which, incidentally, doesn't have a particularly high "signal-to-noise ratio" but it's one of the most interesting books I've ever read.
