GEB was the first book I introduced to my then, girlfriend; now, wife -
as a kind of explanation of the way I think. I have all of his books and
used to read his monthly column for Scientific American pretty regularly.
They're now gathered in a book too. Also, his Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies
was the very first book to be sold on Amazon some 25 years ago.

Also, I was gonna add:

Starting with ...Strange Loop is OK, because in some ways, it gives you a better
understanding of Gödel that may have been a difficult slog thru when reading about
his incompleteness theorem in the first part of GEB (if you had read that book first).
