I knew dozens of people in my high school who actually read it.

Maybe godel, escher, bach would be a better "book that people talked about but never read"

I read it in high school in 82. I still have the book.

Fun fact: The very first book ever sold on Amazon was "Fluid Concepts And Creative Analogies: Computer Models Of The Fundamental Mechanisms Of Thought" also by Douglas Hofstadter
