I love reading Montaigne because he isn’t afraid to add little anecdotes or things about himself that make him look silly in order to be more honest:
“I have always had the habit, both on horseback and on foot, of carrying a rod or a stick in my hand, even to the point of trying to be elegant and resting on it in an affected manner. Many have threatened me that fortune would one day turn this foppery into a necessity. I base my confidence on the fact that I would then be the first of my family to have the gout.”
