Read Gödel, Escher, Bach, OP.

If we're going Hofstadter, Metamagical Themas is a way better start as a collection of a metric fuckton of his short essays. At least a few of them will appeal and they don't require that LONG an engagement individually.

I haven't read that one but you're probably right.

It good! I think most or all of them were articles in Scientific American. A few of them are very obviously Cold Warry, but that's, you know, understandable from a man who was terrified or nuclear annihilation happening in his lifetime.

It also makes a serviceable doorstop or bludgeoning weapon. There are a LOT of individual essays.
