19: Metamagical Themas; some chapters only once, others 4 or 5 times. Never liked Godel, Escher, Bach, so was surprised by how much I enjoyed this.
Hrm, what's Metamagical Themas like? I've read (scatteredly mind you) through GEB, and found it often strangely compelling at times, yet a huge struggle to hack through. The story, while interesting at first, got quite irritating, yet the concepts it portrayed were interesting enough to keep interest. It has the qualities of a 'interesting' reference textbook, where everything builds on information previously interred in the pages, (ie reading it backwards is difficult) but explains concepts that are interesting enough to try and work through, in an entertaining manner...
