montaigne and florio

http://www.nybooks.com/media/images/productimage-picture-shakespeare-s-montaigne-405_png_200x576_q85.png

a somewhat slim selection of florio made w/ shakespeare in mind, introduced by stephen greenblatt

it is truly a bitch to read so far, but weirdly, much more interesting than frame, who i have tried repeatedly with but always found boring

could it be that the obscure, strained pronoun references and long-tacit subjects of paragraphs in florio are truer to the movement of thought than frame is?

i read a little screech several years back that seemed workable, and i've read the ariew/grene apology, but florio's got ~~character~~

ok, much less of a bitch than i thought—most so when florio is at his most floriost, i assume, since his own preface strains the bounds of intelligibility

otherwise, it's such a good read compared to frame. i'm going to have to do an A/B to understand how frame could seem so lifeless.

i love how the locution in montaigne is 'on his wife'

'we imagine much more fitly an artificer upon his close stool* or on his wife than a great judge, reverence for his carriage and regardful for his sufficiency.'

* ~ plumber on the toilet

anyone here have opinions on the screech translation in comparison with frame?
