how many books do you own?

[rave_2]

I'm pretty sure I might have more than 300 ebooks. As for print books, I'm not sure if I even have 100.

[PageMaster88]

The answer to that question for me is, NOTENOUGH!!!!!

[MAMAKRAN]

I used to have a lot more. I had about 300 packed at my parents' house...their basement flooded and they all got ruined . I'm slowly rebuilding my collection. Up around 150 mark. That includes ebooks.

It is really hard for me to let go of books so I find them everywhere around the house. For every holiday I always get books. Granted, that is what i ask for! I had to count it would take me days,so I'm going to say around a thousand paper books. As for e-books, I have a round a hundred. Who else prefers paper books more that e-books?

[fearstreetlover]

i own 204 R.L. Stine books and many other books so over 240

[BNazareno]

I only have 31 books since I don' have a source of income yet (student).

[[Valerie Allen]]

Since relocating, I now own less than 100 books.

[merailey]

I have about 600 books . I log my books into a DB as owned and mark them once read then trade them in for additional books. My total remains fairly constant.

[laffmor]

Probably close to 1000. I think you can never have too many books. The people who helped me move would disagree.

[Cswrawr]

Oooooh.... I don't believe I've ever counted... I have three book shelves and most of the shelves have books stacked, either two deep, or one row on top of another. Maybe 600 or so? Enough to hurt if there's ever an earthquake.

It's actually insane how many books my family owns.
Because we'be moved over three different continents, we have books in, like, four different languages, as well - but the main part of moving is that our family is poor, and when a family is poor, that family hoards.
I remember as a child going to thrift stores in America and charity shops in England in order to find as many second hand books as possible: I mean, mission accomplished. Three giant bookshelves in my room, two in my baby sister's room, and four downstairs - that must amount to nearly one thousand books. We could start our own library going by that amount - and that doesn't even take into account the books our family has all over the globe (Russia and Israel) and the books we lost or gave away. I suppose, in total, it would amount to around 1,250 books that have passed through these hands.

It is innumerable the amount that I own. They are mostly of educational, religious and romantic genres

[KasieMiehlke]

Close to 1000 I would estimate. I haven't counted, but my room is more books than anything.

[BethOLee]

My family and I joke that I own my own library but I am the only patron I have loaned books out but rarely. I will buy duplicates of books and let those leave my home in case my friends do not care for my books like I do. Whenever I move, my books and bookshelves are the first things boxed and moved and reassembled in the new apt before anything else. Easily have 1,500 and counting.

[Eileen R]

Personally, i own very few books. I'm not much of a book collector. I might have only 5 right now.
