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

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!)

  • [insert joke about collecting your smut from public domain works. Sir Richard Burton was a very horny weirdo]

    I'm currently rereading my copies of the Natsume's Book of Friends manga series. Very happy nice time reading.

    • That was written on the preface text as well and.. did not exaggerate lol.

      Oh that sounds like a chill read! Wish I could get into manga, but my brains just refuse to comply when it comes to reading panes right to left. Maybe it's just lack of practice.

      • It took me a lot longer than I liked to get used to it, and I grew frustrated a lot. This manga does have an anime adaptation, tho.

        • Okay so sounds like it takes practice! And that is awesome, but would love to also be able to read manga so I could take it with me to places and just sit and read. Great excuse to stay outside!
