What are you currently reading? (Bonus points: how it relates to simple life/living)

3 years ago by Lazycog to c/simpleliving

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!)

Two books:

  • All Adults Here by Emma Straub. I appreciate the simple, contemporary language that's easy for me to read through after a short book break to play some games.

  • The Advanced Day Planner's Guide - more of a niche interest, I also enjoy planning. This book has lots of helpful, practical tips to boost your productivity in a non-stressful way. Planning has enabled me to achieve things I never thought possible and has left me plenty of time to enjoy myself too.
