What's your library size?

[Chernosoth]

How many books do you own?

I have 368 books.

 

[LittleMissSunshine12]

I have no idea how many I have - do you have them all recorded? I'm looking at my disorderly shelves.

How many books do you own?

I have 368 books.

About 150

 

[Wouldlovetoo]

I have no idea, they're on book shelves, tables, in boxes and totes.

 

[gisade]

Enough to where my poor husband has to box them up every few months and put in the garage

I don't count books I can't read during a blackout.

Ha! Me, too — book shelves, tables, desks, chairs, tote boxes, and cardboard boxes

 

[mentalmaven]

A few thousand…but they rotate often so the number changes daily

I love reading in the winter, not much else to do during blizzards or brutally cold days.

 

[bookworm69]

Excellent point. Hunkering down with a compelling book during a blizzard or a cold cold day is one of life’s true pleasures.

 

[Trubbycat]

Never counted but my office has two walls lined with books.

 

[Statius]

Books everywhere here. 2 Built in shelves, 3 5 shelf cases, 2 three shelf cases, and one two shelf, plus boxes of books. Over 1k.

I don't own many books, except for those I saved from college. They function as a kind of scrapbook of memories. But since 2008 I've read 4212 from my local library. Who knows how many before that.

 

[razor33a]

I have a lot and if I could retire I'd be able to enjoy them.

 

[CoonKitty]

Entirely too many to count. I have a problem.

You and me both, sir!

 

[ericalauren]

Approximately 2,500 books and many ebooks!

 

[razor33a]

I use librarything to catalog my library, go figure. I always wanted one of those big english manor libraries.

 

[gtnlynn]

I had over 400, but I'm in the process of thinning the collection. I have made two large donations to the library and have two bags ready to go. I'm probably down to 350 or so.

 

[razor33a]

Does anyone else feel the need to "save" books when you see people toss them or give them away? I have some from 1902 and the stories in them will be lost most likely when the books are gone. Daughter isn't too keen on taking the collection.

 

[ericrodman101]

It's not how many books you have, it's whether you've colored them all in.

 

[NakedCanadian]

I recently donated all several hundred to the local library as I prepare to downsize and unburden my existence.

 

[Chernosoth]

After moving all my books, I am ready to have less.

 

[boytoyjoy]

Many 1000s over the years but lost or gave away a lot during moves. Maybe a few hundred now. I kind of hate having them, much prefer ebooks because they don't fill so much space.

 

[honeymore]

It's not hoarding if it's books!
