Readers recommend: songs about books

Plenty of books have been inspired by music. Just ask Nick Hornby. But which great songs have been inspired by books? Perhaps the song skips through a book's highlights in three minutes, or perhaps takes its title from a novel, or a theme, or a character. The books don't have to be classics – or even works of fiction. But the songs should, as ever, be rated highly by you. Post your suggestions below and we'll gather some of the highlights into a playlist published at guardian.co.uk/readersrecommend next Thursday. The toolbox: * Listen to others' suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist. * Guide to "donds", "zedded", and other strange words used by some of the RR regulars (courtesy of the Marconium) * The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are "zedded") * The 'Spill (blog for the RR community) Please do: * Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered. * Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices. But please don't: * Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song. * Dump lists of nominations. If you must post more than two or three at once, please attempt to justify your choices.
