A Briefer History

Not that I totally got A Brief History of Time (okay, I didn't even partially get it. All I remember was it started out with something about a turtle and Aristotle and after that parabolas and italicized letters -- c, and x, and n -- came flying out at me, like Sesame Street from hell), but I was bummed to see his "more accessible" version out. The whole point of ABHOT is to read it and give off the impression that you get it, that you're deep, man...smart. You understand the universe. You can do stuff with parabolas. Reading A Briefer History is like doing girl pushups.
