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!)

The Plant Messiah by Carlos Magdalena. It's a very interesting book about the author's work saving endangered species of plants. I associate nature and an appreciation for local things with simple living and that's what the author is trying to preserve.

Have to put on my to-read list! Thanks for sharing :) Recently read Jane Goodall's Book of Hope which is more about humanity and climate change, but with the same vibe you describe!
