Mind Reading

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

11/5. As chairman of the judges in last year s Man
Booker Prize, John Carey ploughed through more than 100 novels at the rate of one a day. Here he explores the very process of reading - the science of how words on a page create pictures in the mind. He begins by asking how reading developed in the ancient world and how we learn to read. Producer Julia Adamson
