Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid -- Douglas R. Hofstadter
This is possibly the best book written in the twentieth century. It links mathematics, philosophy, art, music and genetics in very clever and natural ways. It is laced with excellent humor.
It presents no less than a way of viewing the universe. Everyone who thinks themself educated should read this book.
