Agreed. I was very surprised to find Zen was discussed so much in GEB. Although in context it did serve to (slightly) illustrate some points being discussed, it seemed rather out of place, and I found it very tiresome to read.
It looks like there is no chance of enlightenment for me, but as there is no consistent definition of it, I find it hard to care :-)
