I recently read the 1580 text of Montaigne's Essays. The book only seems notable for the novel length essay in Volume 2, where he writes an apologetic, discusses the weakness of reason, the nature of God, how reason doesn't actually differentiate man from animal since animals possess it too, etc. Most of the other essays were mediocre and forgettable.

I found them enjoyable but you’re obviously searching for the Big Answers in life. Read saints and monks, if you can understand what they mean by emptiness and gnosis you’ll have had a spiritual awakening and found the only answers which will satisfy

You're thinking of the last essay in volume 2 where he discusses his medical condition that causes him to have extreme diarrhea, and he begins to discourse on how he thinks doctors are frauds and that he inherited this distrust genetically from his father.
