    How many books do you own?

    As in hard copy books on your shelf rather than on a device etc

    I think I have around 10 in total.

    Way too many to count easily. I have going on a hundred books just for D&D , Warhammer 40k , Age of Sigmar and other niche table top things.

    Right now, about 5 that are in the reading queue. I give my books away when I'm done reading them. Either to friends or donate them to some kind of sharing library.

    About a hundred or so. Unless manga volumes don't count, then like 4 or 5.

    Comics about 2000.
    On tablet around 800 books but Calibre has approx 1000-1500 books.
    Hardcopy also around 700 to 800.
    Yes it is a lot but I did inherit a lot of the hardcopy books and the comics I have collected since I was a kid so collecting for 30 years by now.

    Hardbacks? Hundreds. Probably well over a thousand...including old collections from Time-Life and even an old Funk & Wagnalls Wildlife Encyclopedia.
    Paperbacks? Too many to count.
    Comicbooks and old magazines? Over 20 cases.
    I swear if I could move into a larger place one room would be made into a library.

    Oh jeez. Too many. Most are in boxes now since I moved and never unpacked them and yet I still somehow have two bookshelves nearly full of books I purchased since I moved. And that is with most of what I consume these days being either audiobooks or e-books on my kindle.

    73 books on the shelf next to my computer. Half of them are (fantasy) fiction, other half are those visual encloypedias on medieval weapons and armor designs and flags, etc.

    Probably between 80 to 100. I've given a ton away this past year as I seldom reread a book.

    I have a good 300 books on my bookshelves, and that's only after my mother donated a good 200 when I was living in Africa abroad and couldn't take them with me.

    Last time I ever store anything with her.

    I love physical books. Fuck digital, I already spend enough time in my life in front of a computer screen for work and video games.

    The Harry Potter books, and uh..a set of Deltora Quest books. The first Artemis Fowl book. A few Dragonball Z mangas.

    what is this "book" thing you speak of?

  18. #18
    I used to have about a hundred, mostly comics, about 20 novels maybe, but I sold almost everything I owned when I became a minimalist.

    I have four metres of floor to ceiling book shelves. Its not enough space to hold all of my graphic novels.

    think I got like 3-4 and 1 of them is just a book about movies you should watch. Dislike reading though.
