going the other direction, read pansees. He directly quotes and either reedifies, reinterprets, or rejects a lot of Montaigne. Its on a similar level of comfy.Also, If you ant in the spirit, I would recommend looking into renassance humanist works like oration of the dignity of man.

I really like Miguel de Unamuno; only writer I've found whose essays gave me the same feelings of talking to a friend as those of Michel de Montaigne.
