Did Montaigne like to walk?

Coming up short in recalling much biographical data per Michel the essayist. I do remember his being the mayor of his town but not much further aside from his resovoir of emotion particularly concenring his great affections towards his friend who passed. I do not understand my curiosity per his habits of exercise, perhaps I was attempting to draw comparisons with Nietzsche and Thoreau.

That quandry aside, I did finish the Waugh this a.m. in the throes of the langorous pleasure of an early a.m. espresso and cigar. The droll centrality of a thunderbox was tempered in the novel by somber references to the heroism of Finland and the processs described by Heidegger as "the mass production of corpses." Joel cited the torpor of the novel and i concur, finding the device of endless drilling to be on par with the efforts of Stephen Crane and Stanley Kubrick who also sought to illustrate the means by which citizen soliders are fuelled to the level of dispassionate killers. It is now on to the book on Cuban jazz as well as reading Magic Mountain with my wife.
