How many books do you have??

[Ellesar]

I have too many to count...

 

[Lordismyobsession16]

I've got alot. probably about 200.

 

[silentpoet]

At least several hundred. Not counting comic books or magazines. I honestly have no idea how many I do have.

 

[goldenviolet]

we lost track! we have over 11 Bibles.... home school/ educational, christian,
fiction, non-fiction, art, poetry, joke, a dictionary? ha! we have about 8 or more.... (i still can't spell) we have books in different lanuages too!

 

[Zoomer]

Slighty over 250.

 

[Blessed-by-Him]

In two years I bought at least 300 christian books only.I have no ideea how many I have now but I can suppose I have around a tousand.

 

[Infernal Freak]

I have like 500 books...about 300 being fiction, and 100 being non-fiction. 2 of them being christian...and the others are just philosophy and occult books.

 

[Le Fantome]

Too many to count.

A quick estimate: at least 1000. I have five large bookcases filled in my room and have several more boxes in storage.

Most of my books are non-fiction. I love history. Most of my fictional books are Phantom of the Opera related. I have over 20 copies of Gaston Leroux's book alone, not including the various published phan fictions that are also in my collection.

 

[MoonlessNight]

I just counted 21 in the shelf above my computer, and I'm sure there's at least 5 or 6 books lying around in random places as well. As about 90% of my books are deep within storage in my closet, I would estimate that I have rougly 250 or so books.

That is, of course, not counting the public domain books that I have downloaded from project gutenberg; I have at least 40 of those as well.

 

[mochagirl]

Oy, I have no idea... a lot of my books are packed away right now, and my mom is getting rid of some via Ebay and half.com...I'd guess around 200.

 

[faller_g]

About 50 Garfield books, and maybe 30 other books of nonfiction, fiction scattered about.

I forsee many more.. better get myself a shelf one of these days.

YAY! your my hero! i have about 30 garfield books, and other then that i mostly have whole series of book (harry potter, left behind (only three at the moment) tommorow when the war began, alex rider, artemis fowl, philips pullmans dark arts and some asterix and obelix) most are presents and others are from second hand bookshops (poor stingy me!)

 

[The-Doctor]

lots!!!!!more than I can count!

 

[Dandelion]

I work at a Goodwill so I get a lot of secondhand books cheap. I have two shelves and the underneath my bed is full of stacks of books(I ran out of shelf room). My mom also has at least four of those big rubbermaid tubs full of books. Now if I could just find time to read all of them.

I collected books from garge sales when I was a kid. That was the main reason I went with my mom and gramma to those garage sales. Any place you can buy books for 10-25 cents is good by me.

 

[stonetoflesh]

I don't even know how many books I have, and I'm not going to try to figure it out. My four bookshelves are completely full (primarily nonfiction); I also have at least 6 or 7 boxes of books (mostly paperback novels and RPG rulebooks) in storage, and a couple paper grocery bags full of paperbacks at a friend's house. So many books, so little time...

 

[texmex]

That are actually mine....two. I normally use the library, but I will be getting two more soon. My sister owns at least ten (again...library is a good place), and I have read those....

 

[ConstanceB]

Both of us brought books and very little else into our marriage. I also had every school newspaper in which I had a by-line, every one I'd edited, and every city paper reporting what I'd won at contests. Including the Family Bible and my grandfather-in-law's Masonic Bible, we had maybe two dozen boxes. When we were newlyweds, my husband once ran up the stairs half-hysterical to report that someone had actually thrown books away. We immediately scrambled down and rummaged (literally) through the stacks and snuck our prizes back to our place. Each time we went back to college, our cache grew. When the babies started coming, we added parenting books, then tactile books, picture books, alphabet and number books, and then started picking up the classics for each age group. I brought perhaps 100 books from the '40s into our home when a relative moved. I kept all those until my husband threatened that next time we moved, I would have to carry them myself. When I taught childbirth classes, I accumulated a lending library. When I was teaching, I purchased grade-appropriate books at every yard sale and swap meet I passed, for 1st grade, then 4th, then 7th, then high school, then 5th. Every time we moved, however, we tried to "clean house". Sometimes we've kept the books and tossed the furniture, especially the ones signed by the author (including Ray Bradbury). Before our last move ten months ago, we were probably down to 300 books. I am slowly peeling them out of my sweaty palms and gritting my teeth as I donate them for charity re-sale. And, now nearing my dotage, I'm becoming fond once again of picture books. cb

 

[Ariella]

too many, and in too many different places to try and count a lot though thankfully

 

[dicentra spectabilis]

I have about 350, maybe 30 of which are in my to-be-read pile. I love to go to flea markets, antique stores, and clearance racks, and I always try to keep a variety of one I haven't read available, so when I finish one, I can go straight on to another. I've read about 20 books so far this year outside of school, and at any given time, I'm usually in the middle of 3 or 4 different ones. I don't keep trade paperbacks, because my bookshelves are in the living room and they just look junky on there. I give them away to friends and family as I finish them, along with hardbacks I have no further use for, but most of my books I've read multiple times and will continue to do so. You could say I'm a bit of a bookworm.

 

[scraparcs]

I'd guesstimate about 500, and I live in a small apartment!

Who needs to be able to walk when I can buy more books? There is an annual charity booksale in my area each year where books are sold secondhand cheaply. I inevitably end up getting 50 books or so each year. They add up over the years.

I just did my Library up on Excel-it seems I have 101 books. But that is not including all the children short stories that I have. Oh and then you have to add in my bible. I think i forgot to put that one on my list-that one is the given though!!
