Mr.Hawking you did it

First of all, I got all exhausted trying to find a 'nice sounding' 'easy to type address' for this blog. At last I gave up and you know what it ended up being...thats ok....... And I was wondering, what so special about "A Brief history of Time" by Mr.Stephen Hawking. One gets to see this book almost every where. You go to any book shop its always in the best sellers section, Almost every street book seller has dozens of it stacked. Any online shopping site has it listed as a best selling title ... every website which allows people to share ebooks has it, and if someone is tracking how many times this book is downloaded...the number should be mind boggling....if you are a ebook reader and has a desktop PC at your home, you are sure to have a copy in it....I too have one...never read past 4 pages....
Now why is it everyone seems to be interested in this book....is it because its thin ?...or is it because its cool to be seen with......or its available cheap?.....or is it because everyone has one, so do I? or is it because really everyone understands the book ??
Me confused....but should accept...Mr.Hawking has managed create a book...which is almost a dream for any writer.... An 'all time best selling ' 'most praised' 'most downloaded''most shared''most talked about'...but 'least read book'...on earth... I appreciate it Mr.Hawking, let me go refresh my physics, before I make one another attempt to read your book.
Now anyone who claims to have read and understood the book, please upload your Masters in Physics and PhD certificates.... otherwise I know you are one another...
