i own 42 books

Yeah well, if you like fantasy the bookcovers can be pretty misleading. Although they're often over the top, just like lots of cliché fantasy is and that kind of fantasy isn't what I generally look for anyway.

 

Same. I prefer to devote my time to one, finish that before moving on. Else the plots get mixed and I can't get into the book as much as I could if I wasn't being distracted by another book. If I tried it I probably would, as you said, ignore the rest of the books while I finish one anyway.

Anyway, to the question; I have no friggin idea how many books we have in this house. We have quite a few, two bookshelves full and then a few others. Most of the books we have are programming languages or related to stuff like that. Then there's tonnes of books on like religious kind of things, stuff on yoga - we even have one on vedic maths! Then there's our fiction books, like dr who and Series of unfortunate events (awesome!). Then stuff for school and books from the library.

How many I personally have, I don't have a clue.

 

Around 150.

 

Not sure how many..lots and lots is all I can say..I have every Carlos Castaneda book and almost every Tom Brown book..lots of survival books and a ton of books on spirituality..plus. I have the Anarchist Cookbook that I bought over 15 years ago.

 

I have too many and I have rid myself of alot already.

 

i'm slowly rebuying all the books i have owned and lost. i'm also buying books that i have previously own gotten from the library but LOVED!

i realized after posting this that i have 8 reference type books. (cookbooks, nutritional values, bird, natural medicine) i've read them all.

 

Damn, that means you have 50 books.
But 42 is the ultimate answer..

 

yeah. i didn't get it. my brother loved them, though.

when i say "inspiration," i mean, i embellished the dust cover synopsis as much as i could.

 

way to many, i have way to many books about the Bulgarian revolutionaries, i have way to many terry Pratchet, way to many Stephan king. i don`t think i can ever read all the books we have

 

Hundreds. Organic gardening, Celtic mythology, European history, murder mysteries, Stephen King, art, tons of cookbooks. Right now I'd rereading Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood". Excellent.

 

I still have to try Terry Pratchett! He was recommended to me several times

 

About 140 books (give or take) last time I checked, and I have read most of them nore than twice. I'm a pretty avid reader. At the moment I'm reading a book by Michael Robotham called Bombproof. He's my favorite author.

 

Im not really sure how many books I have. I lost most of them when
I accidentally burned down half my room 2 years ago, and have been
slowly rebuilding my little personal libray.
I would say that I've read just about every book I own, except for
maybe 2 or 3 which I havent gotten around to yet but either purchased
for future reading or recieved as a gift.
Most of my books are concerned with either philosophy, chemistry,
spirituality, or psychedelics. Then of course I have novels, science
fiction, mathematics, personal health, Holy books, etc. a nice mix
of everything. And a decent pile of children books for my son

 

I own hundreds of books. They are all scattered around the world though.

I haven't read 2 of them. I will read them in the next week or two. I will have to get more books afterwards.

 

I have about 30 on my book shelf. They are my absolute favorites. I carted them around with me because i didnt want my mother to throw them away or sell them when I lived with her. I had a whole chest full and damned if I wasnt right. She threw away the whole chest full of books away just to piss me off.
I will start collecting books again as soon as i have a bit of extra cash. If i ever have extra cash again.

 

Aura let me open my early Christmas present last night, PIHKAL by Alexander and Ann Shulgin!
Needless to say, it's already the best book I've ever read, and Im only like 50 pages in so far.
Hopefully my Parole Officer doesnt notice it during his random house searches :tongue:

 

oh man, probably about 2k in the house, majority of them are stored in the crawl space and basement though

 

If I keep letting you open early Christmas presents, I'll need to get very creative about what to give you on Christmas

 

I have no idea. I have books stored everywhere. I still have some of my textbooks from college along with crappy novels, young adult stuff from my lesson plans, classics, reference books about art and ancient Egypt, and one too many cookbooks.

 

u most definitely need to read Terry Pratchett. i have never laughed at books like that in my life
