Rucker's Infinity and the Mind was so much better in delving into paradoxes and all that Godel shit.

I like it. It's pop-science and it's playful to the point of being asinine, but it's got a great layman's explanation of Godel's theorem and the goofy chapters are fun if you're willing to run with 'em.

hotglue it and put it on someone else's desk

it's a great book that would catch you up to date with some modern topics in math and philosophy, and give you the curiosity to keep exploring it
