What are you currently reading? And bonus points if you can somehow find a connection to simple living, even if it is not about simple living.

I’ll start: I’m currently reading The Arabian Nights by Sir Richard Burton and… well it is grim but I love the simplicity of the short stories. I can pick the book, read a page or two inbetween chores while relaxing, and put the book back down.

(Sorry mod if this does not fit the community, I’ll delete if it doesn’t!)

    That’s the one, it’s more of a philosophy book, im finding it interesting. I’m around a quater of the way through. Lots of quotes from the old greek philosophers. I’m enjoying it, but it’s quite a bit to read at times. To say it’s a book on simple living, the language used is far from simple.

      It actually sounds pretty good! Thanks for the tip, I’ll check out if I could possibly find it in the local library :)
