I'm about to start reading this book.

Any tips?

Thanks, so basically start with the dialogues?

I enjoyed going through the Achilles/Tortoise sections linearly and skipping everything else until I finished that

Weird book, full of interesting ideas. Hofstadter here is taking a first jab at a much larger concept which is supposedly laid out in I Am a Strange Loop.

I don’t understand precisely what he wanted to accomplish with this book, but the themes are cool and the puzzles are satisfying.

Take long breaks if you need. I may have thumbed through some of the slower chapters.

Dropping into sections of chapters was my hack to find enjoyable moments; linearly was a non-starter

Might be worth it to skim through the modern interpretation while reading.
