how many books do you own?

[LKCooper]

Hundreds. Some of these people in the thousands category sure got me beat!!

[lindsycummins]

I have 25 books

[Richhaygood]

Have to admit that I cannot tell you exactly how many I own. Most of the collection is hard back and ranges from psychology to action and horror. Do not intend to stop building the collection any time soon.

[Nacih Mohssine]

Actually, it is hard for me to count how many books I do have. First, I consider all that is written is a sort of a book. Second, I count also digital books as books as they are as far as I have access to them. I read in three languages: English, Arabic and French. Almost all books i have read are written in English even though my mother tongue is Arabic. But English is the language I have my BA and Master degrees in. I think so far, I have read more than 300 books, some books I have read more than four times, like The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.

[Jaime Lync]

I think there are at least a bit over 200 books in my possession but I have only probably read half of them - a little over a 100.

[love2]

Not so many just only around 20 some are text books, best seller books and fictional books. And regarding money investment. But I love all kinds of books such as biography, history, adventure and many others

[Sangram]

not counted recently, but around hundreds...

[Musenya Munyalo]

I have read many book which are borrowed from friends . I have around 15 books only. I look forward to reading and owning more books

[Storygamer88]

I probably have over a hundred books, but as far as books that I own and like and care about owning, maybe only 10 or so. The rest could probably be burned in a house fire and I wouldn't mind so much.

[maryspirito]

I have at least 100 books! Maybe more if I include my kids' as well i just LOVE THEM!!!

[TobiOrNotTobi]

Probably a couple hundred. It's overwhelming me, because I'll never be able to make my room organized with all these stacks of books, and I don't have enough space to put in another bookcase. On top of all this, I'm in the process of getting even more books. It's never ending, but at least I'm reading them.

[masterhawk88]

I'm not entirely sure. I own over 2000 comic books (I got them all stupid cheap at a going out of business sale) And I have a large storage building full of books in containers, not to mention 6 large bookshelves full in my house. Best guess I'd say between the books and comics I've got somewhere around 5-6 thousand works of literature.

And I've read the vast majority of them. This is counting children's books, novels, my comics, graphic novels, poetry, play scripts ect. Some are duplicates, some I tried reading and couldn't finish, and a few are really old or damaged so I just put them away for fear of causing more harm to them.

My pride and joy in an airtight case hanging on my wall is a first edition copy of the Hobbit I found while cleaning out an old house. It's damaged beyond being of any real value but it's my treasure.

[HopeReads]

Never Enough!

[Jolyon Trevelyan]

I have now reached 750 books.

[EMoffat]

I must have around a thousand and something by now. I love my books so much, I cant throw them away or give them up. I have been collecting them all since I was a child so I am not sure of the exact number, but it is a lot!
