Failed to mention this earlier, but the first Hofstadter book arrived. I Am A Strange Loop showed up Monday or Tuesday and I've read a few chapters thus far. Definitely liking it to this point, but I've got a bit more to read before I throw anything real down. For the time being though, here's a quote that put to words something that I've had on my mind for a bit. Straight out of Chapter 3:
"This idea - that the bottom level, though 100 percent responsible for what is happening, is nonetheless irrelevant to what happens - sounds almost paradoxical, and yet it is an everyday truism."
