This book is a collection of Hofstader's essays and columns, many of which were published in Scientific American.

    <body><![CDATA[This is (mostly) a collection of Hofstadter's Scientific American columns. As a result the content is even more diverse in this book than in Gödel, Escher, Bach, and reading a few columns in a row left me a little bewildered. A couple of the essays seemed a little dated. For example, he gives a dis...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7372494">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is huge - like a massive dictionary - and packed with a bunch of essays on a range of topics too broad to even try to describe. Some of them were great and either made you laugh or think about things you hadn't before, though a few weren't as good.
