Julian,
This was special.
I loved Bakewell’s Montaigne. She’s enthralled with him. Makes me want to be also. I tried reading him once and found him beyond me but after listening to her I’m determined to get through some of him.
You didn’t ask me, but I’ll tell you how I think one should live: honest to his or herself.
