Ask HN: What Do You Think of GEB and the Emperor's New Mind?

I have a feeling a lot of people think the second is quantum-crankish in places (I'd agree).

    I first read GEB when I was a teenager (and I've re-read it many many times since). It is one of the few books that made me re-think the way that I think, and it's one of my favorite books of all time. "The Emperor's New Mind" didn't thrill me the way GEB did, but I enjoyed it. I recently read "I Am A Strange Loop" and it got me thinking again :)
