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!)

This book sounds good! At the same time it sounds like a tough read, because you need to self reflect and really dig deep. Hope you are getting good things out of the book!

It felt like a bit of a slog at first, but I found it really comforting once I got further into it and started reading about the part I was interested in getting to, which is how to start on the path to being a more mindful and grateful person in my daily life.
