Saul Frampton’s biographical analysis of Michael de Montaigne’s Essays and Travel Journal motivated me to drop everything and reread some of Montaigne’s great essays. When I Am Playing With My Cat, How Do I know That She Is Not Playing With Me: Montaigne and Being in Touch With Life presents a chronological approach to Montaigne’s life and works. Frampton relates the essays to incidents in Montaigne’s life and illuminates the connection between family and friends and the writings. If you’re a fan of Montaigne, you’ll find plenty of valuable insights in Frampton’s book. Now, I have to drop everything (again) and reread more of Montaigne’s essays. GRADE: A

It doesn’t bother me, George.
Good to know, Jeff. I can’t make any format changes until Patrick returns from his European adventures.
Doesn’t bother me, either, but I know some people have difficulty with sans-serif fonts. You might try Cambria. Or maybe it’s just the size, or perhaps the kerning.
Patrick is my font specialist, Rick. As soon as he returns, I’ll consult with him on the changes.
My reading script is at 2.75 but I can see things from a mile away. So I am in my own strange world.
I can read a book without glasses, Patti. But I can’t see much detail without my glasses for anything six feet away or more.
