Has anyone read "Godel, Escher, Bach"? I'm about to start it, wondering if anyone can give their opinions on it.

Its quite an odd book. I couldn't get into it to be honest but a friend (theoretical physicist) couldn't stop raving about it. Godel's incompleteness theorem rocked his world.
I would say that "Understanding Power" by Noam Chomsky is a real eye-opener.
