Why don't I have permission to read files on the CD I bought?

  • 772

I recently bought this book, which came with an accompanying CD. When I try to view the contents of the CD in Ubuntu, I don't have read permission for any of the files. ls -al in the root of the CD gives this:

dr-x------ 1 mpiroc mpiroc  4096 Sep 21  2011 ./

I must be doing something wrong--surely the CD is meant to be read! What am I missing here?
