Like a scented candle for your ears: *Textbook Sleep*, the Maximum-Strength Sleep Aid, where we read aloud boring public-domain textbooks to help you fall asleep.
Tonight, we crack open *An Introduction to the History of History* by James T. Shotwell, Ph.D., Professor of History in Columbia University, published in April 1922.
A history of history: a double whammy of boring. No writing, no matter how good, can withstand my soporific voice.
My gratitude to *Project Gutenberg* for the text. I love that they preserve and make available these books from long ago to… lull us to sleep.
I’m joking! These are important works that deserve to be discovered.
Time to ring our official *Textbook Sleep* bell three times, a hopeful harbinger of the sweet bliss of sleep.
*This recording will end quietly.*
