Gödel, Escher, Bach is honestly the most difficult book I have ever tried reading, and I don't know why I continue, even though I have to re-read certain paragraphs multiple times.

I love the content, but I don't think I'm smart enough, at least mathematically, to fully appreciate it. The pleasure I get from understanding what little I can doesn't outweigh the effort that I have to put into doing so. It took me a damned week to get through 50 pages.

Are there prerequisites to this book? I hate math with a passion, but I actually quite like GEB despite that fact. It really begs into question as to why I started in the first place, and why I keep going. The hell is going on?
