I have all together about in-between 50-60 but my parents have including all those mentioned and a set of enclyopedias(which we have had since 1985 and need to change!! Oh, boy!! :confused: :sorry: :bow: ), 200-300 books at least!!

Four bookcases plus a box of them in my garage. The one in my bedroom has mostly uni textbooks, my collection of Guinness Book of Records plus some other Christian literature. Most of the Christian stuff in another bookcase in our living room. I'd say over 1000 easily.

I have no idea but it's a lot. Every time my dad has helped me move we do the books first cause there are so many.

In my bedroom, I have a big bookcase that my brother built for me. There's at least 300 books there: classics, poetry, modern works, psych textbooks, and my grandfather's collection of religious books. In my living room, I have 2 medium sized bookcases. One holds my photo albums, some anthologies, and music books. The other holds humorous books and books I have yet to read.

Haven't the slightest idea. Triple-stacked full size bookcase, boxes and bags full out in the garage, and then whatever I have here at school... plus a bookshelf-full that seems to have gone missing. I'm dreading moving... there's no way I'll be able to get rid of any of my books.

After moving all of my books a couple of times, I gave up, boxed them up and took them to a used book store. At the time, I had about six or seven hundred, but I've slimmed down to about a hundred (mostly technical, reference books with only a couple dozen fiction). I've turned to the library and to e-books so I can still read but without the dead tree burden.
