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 Great Hunt - Second book in The Wheel of Time series. I’m a sucker for fantasy serieses!From a simple living standpoint, I love how this genre tends to be set in medieval-like circumstances, which gives a window into simpler times to enjoy. Sometimes I wonder if we’d be better off living our daily lives like in medieval times, but improved by our advances in medicine, agriculture, etc.

      I’ve heard good things about that series! And I agree with how it relates to simple life. My favourite book series is the witcher and love how the main character “tries” to live a simple life lol.

        I’ve been thinking about getting into that series. I’ve heard they’re great. I loved the games and the Netflix show. Might check that out once I get thru the WoT 😀
