Breaks are always good. The fish aren't going anywhere; there's no reason to feel like you have to play every single day. Usually you come back from a break much fresher, and have thought about your game while you weren't playing, which makes you do better when you return.
For tourney strategy, you can't beat Harrington on Hold'Em - there are two volumes out now, with the third volume coming soon. Big books, but a lot of that is hand examples, so it's not something that is overwhelming.
Also Phil Gordon's Little Green Book is supposed to be good, but perhaps a little on the basic side. Someone who has played a ton of tournies probably won't pick up a lot of new stuff. (I haven't read it yet though; that's just what I was told).
