Condolences, Ben, although I've been reading some of that stuff myself lately. Definitely not good bedtime reading. Although the tax stuff might bring on sleep, there's better choices...
Speaking of favorites, though, hands down mine is Ivan Doig's "Dancing at the Rascal Fair". His other books are good, but that one is a work of art. The only book I know of that starts and ends with a drowned horse. Of course it doesn't hurt that most of it takes place up in our old stomping grounds along the Front, in fact right down the creek from some of my parent's best friends' ranch. He calls Dupuyer "Gros Ventre", and changes a few other names, but there's no mistaking where he's talking about...
I'm a big Montana history buff, and have been a voracious reader my whole life (just about!), but that one is a masterpiece.

CJ Box and Vince Flynn series have taken up most of my print reading time for the last little bit. I like series of books with a good main character and each of these have that in spades.
