Is GEB really worth reading? It’s been sitting on my bookshelf for years but it’s basically been a show off book as I’ve never had the time to truly get into it. Is it actually worth slogging through when I’m done with gradschool?
- __alexs 3y agoIt is a fun read IMO. Not exactly a page turner but engaging and well written.

Forced himself to write a second book with more focus — I Am a Strange Loop https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Strange_Loop https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Strange_Loop
