I'm afraid to read GEB now. It's been built up so high the only possible reactions I could possibly have are "as good as everybody else thinks it is", or "didn't live up to expectations", with the latter being far more likely.
I agree with some of the sentiments below. Also, I became a philosopher before reading GEB, and didn't really find anything particularly enlightening in it. I still recommend "The Future and its Enemies" much more highly, and it's more of a fun read (even though it's a bit dated now)
