reminds me the most of Godel Escher Bach as a book in that is very wide-ranging. It stitches together ideas from a different disciplines. It's very difficult to understand and follow completely everyone

claims to have read it. But as far as I can tell very few people understand

it. I had this experience in college where I first found Godel Escher Bach and

I remember that I put on my bookshelf and I started

reading it and started reading and started reading it in about a year later. I was probably about halfway through it and then I just ran out of time. I'd other things going on

and I remember that I would approach

my other friends in college and I would say either this is a great book. You should read it or I would say have you read it and they'd all say yeah, that's great and a week later they'd roll back and say yeah read Godel Escher Bach. It was great and I felt like the stupidest person in college and it was only years later that I realized. Nobody has read it as you get older you get more confident in those confessionals where

you either say either I didn't read it or I read it at a constant

pace and when I encountered something I didn't understand it kept going. I went back much later and I still confess to this day. I have not read. All of (expletive), unless you're Bach, but at least at this point

I went through and I found the parts that were most interesting

to me, which were the Godel parts and skip the ones that were not as interesting to me which were the Baka parts and I did read those and I did try and understand them. The beginning of infinity is similar everybody has it on their bookshelf in my Social Circle many claim to have read it, but very few have gotten it.
