Yes, the same for me - this book was the most influential in my life! I spent three years of my life reading this book from cover to back three times and it was a different experience every time. That was in 1985 and in Germany, during my education as a typesetter. I was 20, into computers (ZX81, C64), the Internet was still years away and this book just mesmerized my brain. The German version of GEB is also a typographical marvel (printed by Klett-Cotta, fonts Syntax and Weidemann) - much nicer than the US version.
