Montaigne is becoming popular again? Lets go. Love the guy, and I agree such a fun read, i think Frame himself called his essays to be "pure talk" and I agree. It always seems like a conversation with the man himself than didactic prose. One of my favorites was on the education of children, where he puts it so eloquently that pupils should be rather taught the qualities of Scipio and Hannibal than the date of fall of Carthage. His words still remain as relevant today. I know it might not seem philosophy or even worth reading. But you should definitely check out, the letters of Vincent van Gogh. I know that one might have preconceived notions that what can one gain from reading the letters of a painter, yet i tell you to do this date, its my most reread book. It's the triumph of the individual over art; an entire life filled to the brim with struggles, the guy only ever sold 2 paintings in his life, and yet he persevered, and despite all the odds never gave up on his view of life, he wanted to capture the beauty in everything, in peat diggers, in potatoes, in sunflowers in life itself, and that's such a beautiful way to look at life. A wholly life-affirming work.

Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't know that there were records of this sort, the letters tell a rich story beyond what was written.

I read Montaigne's selected essays in my youth. Then I've heard them all at least once in audiobook. One could learn french and latin just by reading them over and over.q
