In the season of sharing, the opportunity arises to give plenty of books as presents – but which titles to give, and to whom? Here, readers and writers explain which books they wish more people had read and why they want to share them with others this Christmas season. Which are yours? Some of our Twitter followers already shared their choices – here are some of their choices. Do add yours in the comments, on Twitter by tagging them as #GuardianBooks – or by clicking on the blue “Contribute” button, to share pictures. We will publish a selection on the Guardian site.
