t is a book that has been on my reading list for 10 years and somehow always manages to stay there.
That's because it is unreadable. I read somewhere that A Brief History of Time was the most bought and the least read book of all time.
It's not unreadable. It's that people aren't interested in reading it; they're interested in wanting to read it. I read it many years ago, and it covers topics that are pretty deep in a pretty superficial way. You aren't going to come away with a great understanding of how the universe operates (and some of it you won't understand), but you will come away with a sense that you are more informed about what you are seeing when you look up at the stars.
