On Reading Montaigne

Montaigne, in my opinion, is a very interesting person. While reading his essays, I felt that I was inside his head, in a sense. In "On Some Verses of Virgil", he discusses his opinions of women, sexuality, marriage, and nobility; he frequently quotes Virgil and other poets. Oftentimes Montaigne takes side excursions into various topics but most of these digressions, I feel, are alright in that after a while we see how they're actually related to what he was discussing before the digression. It seems that his meanderings are actually organized something that we may not see after first blush.
