I Am a Strange Loop might be more up your alley--it's sort of like GEB, but more condensed and to-the-point. GEB is great for people down for all of Hofstadter's word games and silly tangents, but IIASL gets the core message across without all the bells and whistles. It also has a lot more of a human element to it, since it delves into Hofstadter's personal life a bit.
