These are two books I have just read, not novels but more lifestyle books. The first one is The Spend less Handbook by Rebecca Ash. A lot of the tips would be things that a lot of us already do but the overall message is that the less we have, the happier we are. How to resist the pressure to forever earn more to buy more stuff we don't need. It's the sort of book you can dip in an out of. The second book is Plain and Simple by Sue Bender, A woman's journey to the Amish. I will admit to being somewhat obsessed by the Amish and found this book very educational as not all sects are the same but I love the way they value the ordinary things in life such as sweeping a floor or doing the dishes instead of hating every moment. Try them and let me know what you think.
