Work on taxes or read?

I have spent all morning gathering materials for taxes, checking bank books for deductions, etc. In a way, it is comforting to know that I kept and highlighted all the deductions along the way in such an organized fashion. My bookkeeping teacher would give me an A.

But what I really wanted to do (the book almost reached out arms and pulled me to it) was to read my new Anne Lamott book Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith. I have said before that her book Traveling Mercies was one of my favorites of all time.
But I must do the adult thing and finish up so I can get the stuff to Bill Rieder next week. Anne will be there when I am done. Why can't we take deductions for books we have bought?
