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 actually reading a book called The Philosophy of Simple Living. It’s quite difficult to get into, but it’s a good book so far.
Is it the book by Jerome Brillaud? I’ve been meaning to read a simple life book, but I feel like there are just way too many authors who wrote a lifestyle book to cash in on a trend… But since you are saying it has been good so far maybe I should give it a go!
That’s the one, it’s more of a philosophy book, im finding it interesting. I’m around a quater of the way through. Lots of quotes from the old greek philosophers. I’m enjoying it, but it’s quite a bit to read at times. To say it’s a book on simple living, the language used is far from simple.
It actually sounds pretty good! Thanks for the tip, I’ll check out if I could possibly find it in the local library :)
