I read constantly. I love anthologies and story collections. Short stories are especially entertaining when the author is able to make you care about the characters quickly and wonder what might have happened next in a novel
I try to buy stuff I don't like. My daughter is doing her master's degree internship at a domestic violence counseling center, so this year all the leftovers will go to the little ones who visit there with their Moms. Other years I have taken it to our local food pantry, the latchkey kids program at the civic center, etc. I do the same with all the other holiday leftover treats too....Christmas cookies and candy, valentine day goodies, etc.
