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!)

    I’m rereading some of my philosophy books in the mornings lately, starting with the Enchiridion and then moving on to Meditations and some of the other Stoic stuff in my library. I find it’s nice to ponder over in the quiet of the early morning, and helps me to set the right mindset for the day.

    Completely unrelated to simple living, but my current fiction selection is the entire Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I made a promise to myself recently to take more time for reading for fun, and because I didn’t want to have to think very hard about which book to pick up after I finished one, I decided to start with a very long series by an author I know I like.
