One of those big fat tax guides with an index at the library or bookstore, Lassiters, etc might point you in the right direction.

I'm starting to take a page from the @Gene Hacker playbook and spending a lot more time enjoying my life - wine tasting in Napa today, weekday happy hours, concerts, hiking...
