Well this one is.

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

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.
