The best thing that happened today was I just got a copy of Douglas Hofstadter's 700+ page book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid". A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll summed this book up pretty well.

I remember the guys were discussing this book a couple of years back, but I can't recall which of them actually managed to finish reading it. Was it K or Yoyo? :)
