How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at An Answer by Sarah Bakewell

3.0

Well well well. What could I say about this book? It came from recommendation after reading Jordan Peterson 12 rules of life and I was thinking why not to read some more philosophical about Mr. Montaigne.

This really was not that boring or bad I was expecting. In the same time it was not carrying me through without more boring parts. Allthough there was few chapters which I was heavily interested and find new mind bobbling thoughts.

In many ways this was interesting, but would I recommend it to my fellow readers - probably not. I liked tho, but to fully enjoy it, you probably should have some kind of attachment to Montaigne or to 1500-century life.
