Books in Western Civilization were invention of the medieval period, out of necessity for Roman Catholic Christian scripture (Truitt). Prior to the widespread practice of Christianity, scrolls served the same function, allowing readers to start at the beginning, save their place mid-text, and read through to the end. For instance, in Judaism, practitioners read the religious text from beginning to end, and when they finished, they would start again. However, in Christianity, the services place the liturgy thematically rather than spatially, and it required a new method of storing that information so that priests could read scripture out of order. This new method, as previously stated, was the book.

In order for this to work properly, you'll have to do the following.

Click on each link on this page.

When you arrive at the page to which that link sends you, download the file available on that page.

I recognize that the downloads are slow, but they do work! I am in the process of trying to make the downloads faster as we speak.

After you have downloaded all four files, open the filed called "reading experience.wav" and follow the instructions that you hear. It'll be fun!
