This GEB book is a very interesting case. I have heard many (maybe a dozen) very intelligent people telling me about this book. But then I have never met anyone who had actually finished the book except a friend's brother. This brother is also a very interesting case, because he has dyslexia (reading disability) and can only read one word at a time, but he just spends all his time reading.
On amazon.com there are many reviews of this book, but I seriously doubt that many have read the whole book. It is one of the most difficult books I have ever attempted (and still trying), not because the subject is too deep, but because it covers a lot of interconnected areas and multiple levels and intricate details, like Bach's Fugue, and like the book itself. This book is simply brilliant. Sometimes I feel this book is written especially for me (soulmate?) and I feel grateful for that. So I don't care what others say about this book, because I know they don't know what they are talking about.
