To each their own, I read GEB several times and enjoyed the intellectual challenge and the humour.
Hofstadter wrote a followup book: I am a strange loop.

He wrote a number of follow-up books. I love GEB, but the follow ups were often disappointing in surprising ways.
He has another book about the beauty and challenges of translating poetry, but it’s actually about the sudden death of his wife and it's been too sad for me to finish.
