You might like Douglas Hofstadter's book I Am a Strange Loop. He examines consciousness as a recursive feedback loop. The book has some hokey tangents, but I think it's a good presentation. btw, this book is much more accessible that Hofstadter's GEB. :)

Thanks. From the WP article it sounds like his ideas are somehow related to mine, but that he is viewing it from a completely different angle. Very interesting.
