How many books do you own ?

[Lamp]

Books that you own personally. On display or in storage.

 

[Iceforge]

Oh, thats a tough one.... got quite a few, but nothing compared to my parents or most adults I guess.... got like... between 20 and 50 I guess...

 

[Afran]

none

 

[Bugz]

About 10 =/

I aim to read more from the summer onwards though.

 

[haarewin]

42 on my shelf, most of which are still 'to read'. don't let me buy any more until im done! not including graphic novels or textbooks.

got many more read stored away

 

[Wonk]

I've got 3.

 

[Lamp]

Porn mags don't count !

 

[- English -]

none

 

[Helme]

About 15 real books but a few hundred eBooks.

 

[Shagrat]

couple of hundred easily, mostly hardbacks.

First editions of most of Stephen King, James Herbert, Clive Barker.

Random sci-fi, fantasy and horror hardbacks and books on the occult. Original collections of poems by the greatest collection of Englishmen who ever lived, Keats, Byron, Shelley, Coleridge and a pile of history books on the period from 1000 to about 1600 covering the Crusades, Charlemagne, Suleiman the Magnificent and English history etc.

and a 200 year old copy of Le Morte d'Arthur I'm still trying to read

Always really, really enjoyed losing myself in a good book. It's still imo, one of the best ways of just escaping from all the crap that real life throws at you.

 

[old.Tohtori]

You can't seriously give me a choice "more then 1500" and think i won't choose it

Though my Icefloat library of dark arts and ways to seduce a succubus, among other things, is quite extensive.

Would love to own a big collection for sure. Shagrat's collection looks great and we share similar interests. Out of all the books I have read though only a few really stick in my memory - Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (yeah yeah), War and Peace believe it or not - damn good read, and lots of Stephen King books - shit loads are in my memory come to think of it. At the moment though I am reading stuff about dead bodies which seems to be all the rage. Wish to hell I had built up a big stack for sure but then again you always need new books to read else you are only going over old ground. Yeah - old books are ok but I needs new books I tell you! Can anyone point me somewhere where I can get 10 or so books for a fiver or something including postage?

I have no idea how many books i have but when i moved to Qatar from London it was well over twenty big fuck off boxes and it has expanded greatly since i moved out here as i seem to have a lot more time to read since i moved here.

Fantasy, fiction, historical, classical etc. Vey nice and wide collection.

 

[Raven]

Loads, whenever I am forced into going into town I come back with a couple. Had to get rid of a load before we moved. moving again in a month so will have to get rid of some more. Will read pretty much anything except biographys or autobiographys, don't interest me in the slightest.

 

[Lamp]

I've only read 4 biographies that I can think of: Michael Heseltine, Billy Connolly, Al Pacino, & Anthony Hopkins.

 

[Morphius]

I have way too many books, I voted 50-100 but if i think about it, all the ones my brother has which I have read easily takes it too 200-300 without a doubt. I have to read, I love it so much, after I pick up one I have to finish it!

the Gaunts Ghosts series by Dan Abnett is awesome!

 

[swords]

I think currently most of my books are in storage waiting to be given away. I have more text books than other books on my shelf atm too, freaky!

 

[Chronictank]

20 or so at a guess, not including text books etc

 

[Amanita]

Less than I've read, more than I want to move somehow to my new Leeds location.

 

[Laddey]

0 my man!

I've also never read a book

 

[Ezteq]

lol i got tonnes and bags of books i rescued from being pulped at the library too!

my boss doesnt like to let me do the pulping now because i end up rescuing more than i pulp (books are usually only pulped because they are knackered but its still harsh)

 

[Mikah75]

ive got 57 here at uni just counted, my room not so big next year so need to find aspace got loads back at my parents too, not bad for a 20 year old. im always buying books, going through a 1000 to read before you die also amazon/play always having offers where decent books are only like £1.50 cant argue with that, rest are autobiographies and sociology/psychology books

 

[Ezteq]

I just had a thought Bakewell... your title should be changed to "Does this look big in my bum"


totally off topic but thats why im here

[liloe]

I clicked 151-300, but it's just a guess tbh. I think I'm right, but it might be slightly more.

There is also the question of what counts as book =) Comic books? Dictionaries? Encyclopaedias?

I guess if everything counts I might be in the next section =)

 

[kiliarien]

I'm generally a fantasy reader (shock).

Probably read about 80, and have at least that on my shelves I haven't got around to - I am a bit OCD with wanting to do stuff in order, for example I have 20 Terry Pratchett books and have only done the first 3.

Games and forums distract me!

And have 2 signed David Gemmell books that I'm afraid to open. Stupid I know.

 

[Bleeker]

more then 1500...80% is fantasy, 15% is scifi and 5% is mixed (biographys, crime storys and so on)


i dread the day i'm moving...books are heavy
