| 63. In the book "Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" |
|
by Douglas Hofstedter (sp?) is an excellent 'translation' of Godel's theorem and a fascinating tie-in with the music of J.S. Bach and the art of M.C. Escher.
Although it's only tangentially related to atheism it is one of the most amazing books on logic of the twentieth century.
