Hofstadter’s Loop
April 6, 2007
Tim Bray writes about Douglas Hofstadter’s new book, I Am A Strange Loop. I can’t comment on the review itself, since I’ve just ordered and not yet read the book, but Tim also writes:
Having said all that, I’m pretty sure that Hofstadter’s finest work, and the one most likely to have intellectual currency a few centuries from now, is Le Ton beau de Marot, which is at once stimulating, entertaining, erudite, beautiful, and tragic.
I couldn’t agree more — Le Ton Beau de Marot is, by far, the best (non-fiction) book I’ve ever read.
