I'm in, but some people are put off by calling it that. Any idea what that genre of literature would be referred to? Intellectual non-fiction, or something?
As for books to add to the list, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! is a fantastic read.
I think the dog analogy isn't entirely accurate, but you make a good point. I've been skimming another book by hofstadter which seems to defend this argument (I have read very little). It looks like a good follow-up for GEB. Have you read it?
But aren’t the puzzles the whole heart of the matter? Maybe try this one?!
I'm a Japanese native, and wanted to leave a comment that GEB Japanese translation is available to this date, in two editions - http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4826900252/ http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4826901259/
The first is the original edition that was released in 1985 (the one I have), and the seconds is the 20th anniversary edition that was released in 2005.
As far as I can recall the translation was decent, though I can't say for sure as I don't have the original.

He talks a lot about translating GEB in his later book, Le Ton Beau de Marot.
What are you talking about?

Not sure if this is exactly what you're asking for.
