I was lying in bed trying to conceive my next project and the title of a book manifested in my mind - I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas R Hofstadter. I never made it through his epic 1979 tome, Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid as I am not equipped with the necessary mathematical knowledge to grasp it, (specifically propositional calculus), but Strange Loop's exploration of the nature of consciousness seemed like it might be more palatable for me.

Strange Loop opens with a proposed Socratic dialog Hofstadter drafted as a teen, and I was instantly captivated. This should be a rewarding read.
