I have a lot of books too.... Should I count? My guess is maybe a hundred, probably more. 125 at most.

/edit I counted 166 books that are easily seen and within walking distance @_@

But it's like collecting a piece of history...I mean, keeping your favorite books for your children and grandchildren to read...but anyways, I have about twenty-thirty. I used to have a ton of children's books from when I was younger, but I donated them.

We have over 800 books in our observatory.

Ranging from Hemingway to Poe to Steinbeck -- all classics.

Look at it this way -- I never have to buy books for summer reading, we own them all!

I completely disagree. I buy my books at a used book store, and I can get an average of 4 books for less than 10 dollars. I also buy online, which reduces the price a heck of a lot. I love buying books because I usually love every book I read, plus I'm going to be reading my whole life, so when I'm old I'll have forgotten everything and I can read it again! I guess you just have to have a different kind of love for books to buy them.

I have about 200 books. Still counting!

^Same here, but all mine are used books. I'm a bit of a Used Bookstore nerd. Plus, I like cheap books... leave me alone.

Like four hundred. I've only read three of them, but I have a crap load of books. Alot of them are old.

My favourite is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I suggest you read it. Very cool. It's from 1912. Bone us.

Oh god, probably around 100 or so.
I love books. And I've been constantly buying them since I was a little.
Those 100 are the ones that I've had in the past few years,
a lot of my older books I gave away.
Cept the important ones that mean alot to me.
Those I kept.
So probably 100.

I'd say I own anywhere from 150-200 books... My bookshelf is always overflowing, I constantly outgrow it. happy.gif

Wow, I always thought I didn't have many. I have five shelves for books in my room, plus another 8 or so in the basement. I'd say I have around 300ish?
