Opinions on "A Briefer History of Time"?

Question

I'm considering reading it... what's your advice?
I haven't read "A Brief History of Time", but I've read other similar ones like "The Universe in a Nutshell" and "The Elegant Universe".

Also, feel free to suggest other similar books, if any come to mind.

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

you should ask this question in the books section if you want a proper response, you have posted this question in:

'Home > Computers & Internet > Internet'

which is for questions about internet related stuff.

Answer 2

When I was 18 and wanted to know what the hype was about Big Bang, I found it interesting. The whole concept of space-time being curved, was just exciting.

But now 10+ years later and many such books later, I have little time or interest for exploring the questions about the origin of the universe.

Answer 3

"A Brief History of Time" is very insightful.

Based on the other title you have read I think you might enjoy what Stephen Hawking has to say.

You may also enjoy reading another novel that speculates on Time.

It is called Tempus Fugit (Time Flies!) by Lawrence Lee Rowe, Jr.

Have fun but be safe.

Answer 4

It's pretty boring and touches upon theories about the universe and black holes. If you can read "A Discourse on Method" by Rene Descartes and not fall asleep, more power to you.
If you want to make it funny at the same time, imagine Ben Stien reading it to you. It should be more coincise in my opinion but who is to say? The professor of macro physics at Cambridge wrote it
