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!)

Essentialism.

I started it once before and didn't really like it and gave up, but I had been on a minimalism/simple living reading marathon for a while at that point and was a bit burnt out and needed some fiction. I've waited 6 weeks for a copy to become available again at my library again so am starting again now.
