Well this one is.

Last update was obviously wrong on the page count. This is the correct one!

Well I've finally finished the full version of the Essays. Now onto the travel journal which is much shorter.

I strive on, gradually. In between reading other books, I read a little more. This great tome is my continual companion, or has been for months, and I suspect a while longer before completed.

I’ve started on this brick of a book (1300+pages). I’m a fan of Montaigne and have read Screech’s selected parts twice. I decided read the whole thing. It will take some time as this is a dip in not read quickly sort of thing. I liked Screech’s translation, but that only comes in paperback. I’m happy with paperbacks but not when they are over 1000 pages long. So here I go with Frame’s translation.
