how many books do you own?

[bamps184]

I probably have somewhere in the 200 to 300 range and I have probably read them all dozens of times.

[atrixa]

Around 100? I tend to get rid of books I don't want to read again.

not even close to twenty...i wish i have a lot...books are expensive here...

[chicklit]

I have hundreds of books, and I would have more had I not moved across the country (from Los Angeles to DC). I had to get rid of a lot of books for my move, but I still have so many. I haven't counted the books, but I know I have a few hundred.

If you have thrift stores in your area, you may want to give them a try. I've bought many books from thriftstores, as you can buy really great ones for like $.50. You may also want to try yard sales.

I'm going to guess that I have somewhere between 150-300 books. I've never taken the time to count...maybe I should Most of the books are from my childhood, but now that I'm in college my collection is starting to grow (English major).

[Mer_Blackwood]

I don't know, but I'm guessing it has to be at least 1500. I have bookshelves everywhere I can put them.

[TeddyP]

I have zero - I kind of regret it because I have owned some great books - but I always donate books when I am done with them.

I would love to build a library someday and collect some of my favourite books in early editions.

[Kailee]

there is long list lolllllll

[ceve4life]

About eighty or so.

[San1968]

I would be up in the thousands too despite giving a whole load to our local library and to friends.
I have just bought an ebook reader and it is great. No need to buy more book cases or stuff them in cupboards. I am now concentrating on buying first editions or Folio Society books of my favourite read over and over again authors, and making rooms for my daughters books!!
The only problem is not all of the books are available on e-readers yet so have had to buy 2 actual books this month.

hello, nice to be back here. I have lots of books, from encyclopedias down to pocketbooks. My eldest son often told me to dispose old books, but I don't know, I just love them there, I even come to thinking on donating it to schools, on second thought, I would be missing them.

[ThomasRA1950]

Let's see... 5 bookcases & 3 boxes in the garage, 2 built-ins in the living room, 2 bookcases in dining room, 4 in my office... and they are all full... literally, over a thousand, easy. And the reason I keep them is because I haven't read them yet; when I've read them I donate them to the local library.

[Nyxlight]

I am in the vicinity of 3000 books now and still colecting as fast as I can. Pity I have no space for them all so 1/3 are in boxes.

More than thousand, they are in all rooms, also in kitchen, toilet and bathroom... “When I am sad, I read. When I am happy, I read. When I am breathing, I read.” - Jay Frawley
