In 2011, Dan Conley started, and completed, My Montaigne Project: a series of 107 essays, one a day for 107 days, each inspired by one of Montaigne's 107 Essais
(Here's the PEL podcast on Montaigne. And Seth,Wes, Mark and Daniel Horne have all posted links to, and commentary on, contemporary discussions of his life and work.)

February 18, 2015 at 9:00 pmThanks so much for the spotlight — I’m a huge fan of the show and the Montagine episode was one of my favorites. (I also loved the Cormac McCarthy episode. I’m such a big McCarthy fan that I even named one of my sons Cormac.)
Anyway, thank you as well for driving traffic to my site. Keep it up and I’ll have to convince my wife to have a fourth son so I can name him after you.

March 26, 2020 at 3:35 pmJust wanted to let everyone know that My Montaigne Project is back online after a two year hiatus at mymontaigneproject.org. I have begun a new series entitled Montaigne in the Age of Coronavirus that focuses on Montaigne’s ideas about solitude, which seems especially relevant in this age of social distancing. I’d appreciate anyone taking a look and giving me their thoughts. Be safe, everyone.
