Oh haha, I had no idea I am a strange loop was about that topic. I'm familiar with Douglas Hofstadter, as I've attempted to read GEB (while playing along with his examples and exercises!) but had to give up because it took so much energy, effort and time to get even just a bit further, while I never really had the idea I was moving towards anything, unfortunately.

I've heard that that book is similar in its topic, but way less arcane, so I might give it a try when I have some more free time, thanks for the suggestion!
