Ricercar

Song of the Day: The Musical Offering, BWV 1079 - Ricercar a 6 - Johann Sebastian Bach

Quote of the Day: "If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." Albert Einstein

Thought of the Day: Just finished reading Godel, Escher, Bach, An Eternal Golden Braid. What a brilliant book! Can't say I understood every concept in the 777 pages, but I definitely enjoyed the book immensely. This book is intellectual exercise, but Hofstadter has a wonderful sense of humor so it's fun. The last chapter ends with a 6 part dialogue that re-explains some of the author's methods and mirrors Bach's masterpiece 6 part fugue that concludes the Musical Offering. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in music, philosophy, mathematics, or religion who is looking for a challenging, intellectual read.
