Capitol Hill Reads! discussion

Hello all.. I'm reading the Frederick Douglass section of TransAtlantic which refers to The Columbian Orator, the book he used to develop his speaking skills.

Here's an online copy of the book: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-b...

Noticed this movie about Douglass in Ireland:

Haven't watched it but looks interesting.

Got a last minute ticket for Julius Caesar tonight. Sorry to say, I won't be joining the discussion of TransAtlantic, which took me a while to get into, but offered surprising linkages for characters and places.
