Montaigne in barn boots

Montaigne in barn boots: an amateur ambles through philosophy / Michael Perry, read by the author, 223 pgs.

Not familiar with Montaigne, I read this book because I've liked other books by Perry. This one is pretty great, finding intersections between the life of Michel Montaigne, a 16th century French nobleman and the author, a 21st century Wisconsin writer and family man.  Perry compares what he learned about and from Montaigne, with his contemporary thoughts and his personal history.  The audiobook is read by the author and it is a great listen.  Highly recommended.
