A review by darwin8u
The Complete Works by Michel de Montaigne, Donald M. Frame

5.0

For me the greatest approbation for a book I've just read is a simple declaration that this is a book I'll read again, and perhaps one that I'll read regularly. This is a desert island work for sure. It (for me) fits into the same mental shelf space as Aurelius Marcus' [b:Meditations|30659|Meditations|Aurelius Marcus|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168080018s/30659.jpg|31010] or Herodotus' [b:The Histories|1362|The Histories|Herodotus|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311645588s/1362.jpg|488198] or Adams' [b:The Education of Henry Adams|1037754|The Education of Henry Adams|Henry Adams|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320437756s/1037754.jpg|3212304]. Some pieces of nonfiction should probably be considered a type of humanist sacred-text. One more book I've got to grab if the house is on fire. One more book I will forever be buying extra copies of so I can fop them off on unprepared friends.
