Maybe it's the blurb from Salman Rushdie describing it as ''intellectually provocative and touching and comic,'' or maybe it's the book's cute 41 2-by-7- inch size. Whatever the reason, Einstein's Dreams-a first novel from Alan Lightman, a professor of physics and writing at MIT, is climbing the fiction list. The story of Einstein's discovery of the nature of time, Lightman's book appears this week at No. 10. FICTION WEEKS ON LIST
