With just a few shopping days until Christmas and much of the population holed up due to one of the worst December snowstorms on record, there are a lot of folks looking for last-minute gifts online.

The folks at Amazon.com have always come through for me with a huge selection and fast shipping and I’ll be sending out a tome or two this year for friends who’ve been hit hard by the economic downturn and whose finances look worse than the side streets in my neighborhood.

Need a couple of ideas, too? Here is a list of books I’ve selected for you to gift (or get a jumpstart on your New Year’s resolutions.) Many of these have been featured in our Required Reading posts this year, others are new finds. Enjoy.
