Forked thongs
way-of-living. A philosophy in which work is just a way to make beer
taste better, love is an act for strangers, violence is a necessity and
the skin is just a temporary canvas for ink dragons, studs pierce thongs
with the only goal of forking them; in this way-of-living sex is
liberated and therefore intense; so intense it makes you cry, so
definite it makes you want to die; and who can tell a lover from a
killer nowadays?

Gödel, Escher, Bach - # Un'eterna ghirlanda brillante # Di Douglas R. Hofstadter
Fantastic book. The best reading this year so far. The book is centered around recursive auto references; those generates twisted hierarchies, which, according to the author, can explain much about Intelligence, Consciousness, DNA, symbols and meaning. The book spans over Zen and Zenone, Bach and Cage, Escher and Magritte, Gödel and Turing, Cantor and Russel; I loved every-single page. Hofstadter investigates all these aspects (and more even) at very different levels. The auto-references allow him to jump up and down, and move in stimulating vortexes, culminating, right before a Ricercar in 6 voices, in a digression about free will, life and death at various levels. How great it would be to have a digression of the very same type on sex!! A Recursive Iterative Compulsory Excitation Running Circles And Repeating
