I received some vouchers to spend at a well known online retailer and GEB was on sale so it had to be got (along with something else that I needed) but was just under the free postage limit so also got Flatland too (for a totally bargain price) which I’ve meant to read for absolutely ages.
Now I bet I read Flatland first ;)
I am currently looking for a place in which I can find this book, I have recently checked it up at my school library, but unfortunately it has been lost for quite some time. I am thinking of placing a hold at our local library, and reading it there… Does anyone know of a place I could download it from online in PDF format?
This tome taunts me with its impenetrable prose but I have higher priority books to read for now (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it).

this is not the place for this goal anymore :)
The maths, as I recall from flicking through the book years ago, is beyond me. So I’m gonna be reading it in tandem with a friend with a good grounding in mathematics.
Just started the first chapter. Have a few things to mull over; strange loops and poor methods of avoidance by definition.
Found the book in the University library. Very interesting read so far, I really need to listen to more Bach :-)

but I’m ashamed to say I gave up as I was ill, didn’t have the concentration and the library book had to go back.
I still want to read this and though it won’t be an easy read I’m sure it will be both thought provoking and worthwhile.
It’s a mild “worth doing”. I agree it should be read more than once if at all, and used as a reference. If you’re serious about knowing the subject/s, you must read more than just this book.
