Just bought Montaigne's essays after reading Gore Vidal's second memoir (Point to Point Navigation) which referred to it a lot. It's a big book (about 1,300 pages) but the essays are all about 5 or 6 pages each. It will take me a long time to get through it, but I'm in no hurry, as I have about 50 years of my life expectancy left.
From skimming the book online the modern translations seem snappy and the text itself seems choc full of wisdom and humour.
Any of you guys read it in your philosophy, English lit studies?
