I am supposed to be reading a book called Salem Possessed by Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum for this class I am taking. The Problem is it's an extremely boring book to read. I was wondering if anyone knew of an online site that has recordings of books. It'd be a fantastic help. Thanks in advace.

You might be out of luck here. I checked all the sites I know of and could find no Cliff's notes, or Spark's notes on this book. I could find no breakdowns or recordings. All I could find were book reviews and descriptions. However, someone who was clever, could read all the reviews and descriptions and piece together a pretty good book report and or term paper. Now, I would never recommend that anyone do this of course, but I am just saying that... it could be done easily. Simple go to one site, read a description, then go to another site and read reviews from people who have already read the book. Then combine their info with what you yourself have already read, and maybe skim the rest of the book for more details.

Review of Salem Possessed

Or you could just read the damn thing. I think its only 250 pages or so. Good luck.

Lol xD
I have started reading it so I think I'll just read the whole thing. XD
And The review actually helped me understand the book a bit better.
Thanks A Ton!

It's only 231 pages! I checked WorldCat. You're correct; there are no recordings of it. In fact, it's probably out of print with a 1974 copyright (haven't checked Amazon to see if they sell it).

I suggest you skip around and read chapters out of order. It really doesn't look that bad:

Salem possessed : the social origins of witchcraft
Prologue: What happened in 1692 -- 1692 : some new perspectives -- In quest of community, 1639-1687 -- Afflicted village, 1688-1697 -- Salem Town and Salem Village : the dynamics of factional conflict -- Two families : the Porters and the Putnams -- Joseph and his brothers : a story of the Putnam family -- Samuel Parris : a pilgrim in Bethlehem -- Witchcraft and social identity -- Epilogue: To the eighteenth century.
