The first time I "read" it was via an audiobook that I checked out from my local library. Reading your post got me interested in re-reading it. Since it is not available in e-book format (at least, I couldn't find it), yesterday I purchased an unabridged audiobook version of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking from Audible.com. After listening to the first three chapters, I have to revise what I said about the book being "dry." It's not dry at all. It's fascinating, and a whole lot more accessible than I remember.

Perhaps, my revised opinion comes from the fact that it has been 20 years since my first reading, and I've read an awful lot of science blogs since then.
