it is appropriate that today is purim, which is the holiday that
celebrates the story of queen esther and mordachai's victory over the
evil haman. the book of esther is one of the 5 books in the bible that
were traditionally written on a single scroll which is called a
megillah. the torah (5 books of moses) on the other hand is written on a
double scroll where you wind up on one spindle and unwind from another
spindle.

so megillah really just means a type book and is used colloquially as i
did above.
