classification is tough!

Here's a book-cataloging challenge for all you wanna-be librarians out there: how
on Earth would you categorize Douglas Hostadter's Godel, Escher, Bach: An
Eternal Golden Braid
?

I think I may throw my hands up and toss
it in the Philosophy bin (figuratively speaking; I try to avoid tossing books.
Much.) His Le Ton Beau de Marot is going under Linguistics, though it's
more accurately about poetry, translation, cognitive science, love, and grief.
