Only one large bookshelf full. I always give them to friends if I think they would like them or donate them to the local library or SPCA. I just hold onto the hardcovers and series.

I've never counted them, but I'm sure it's 100+. I actually just sold a ton of books at my garage sale. They were taking over the house. I have books in every room of the house.

I only have 13 books which are my all time favourites. Im 13 so i dont have the money to buy every book i read. so i go down to the library and read the books there for FREE! if i bought every book i read id be near 400 and in debt of close to £3000.
i buy my favourite books off amazon and as i said i only have 13 books.

once i owned too many but since I had my kids I've begun shedding most of them once I've read them unless they really really impress me. So I have some books I define as personal classics, otherwise I end up putting them up on an internet swap site and getting new books that way, passing others on to friends and charity for as they say a good book should be read and read .... :lol:

I own 378 books at this time. Some of the books have been passed down to me from my grandparents and parents.

I have no idea how many books I have. Probably in the thousands, not even counting getting into comic books. They are everywhere.

I have hundreds of books, probably because I ravage every used book sale I can ever find.

I think I have about one thousand.
I counted them a few years back and I was at 400- but that was about 5 years ago that I counted. I know that I have bought many many books since then. I read about 3 books per week and I have to buy them.

It's become quite a sickness... but at least it's a smart sickness, albeit an expensive one.

I probably had close to a thousand at one time, my own and I inherited all of my mother's books. But I moved and had to give most of them away, my new place being much smaller. Share the wealth! I did keep my favorites of course and now I utilize the library.
