@elevenism , take notes, okay? Do you have a word processing program? Type your notes in there, and then copy and paste them into here on discussion day?

@allegate , have you ever read Swift's "Gulliver's Travels?" This is allegedly set up to be an homage to that book as far as each "state" being a different voyage.

I'll just leave that here for now, keep that in mind. :-)

Since people are itching to get to a discussion, here, I move that we begin discussing the first three chapters the day after Christmas, on Monday, December 26th.

Again, if you want, take notes, copy and paste into here at that point.

I have, and that makes a lot of sense given how chapter two ends and chapter four starts.

I'm pretty sure I've read the Frederick Douglass book many moons ago back in middle school, but I'll read it again and the other as well. Help me from reading too far ahead, I guess!
