how big is your book collection?

4. Prefer to just lend books out of the library. Saves $$

Close to 200, I think. Fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous.

118. I counted them because, honestly, I had no idea and was interested. That doesn't count the books that are in my closet, or the books I still need to take to the used bookstore.

If I had more money and more space, I would have a lot more books.

So could mine. Our book collections could take over the world.

Ooh, a partner in crime. Now all we need are tubs of radiation.

I usually read books from the library. If I like them enough, I'll go out and buy them to read again and again. The books I don't like seemingly disappear in the coldness of winter, never to return. Right now I have about 57.

I have around 40 books and 10 mangas.

I'd have a lot more if I kept all my books but most have either disappeared or gone to charities.

'K, now I'm curious. *runs off to check*

101 that I can count of books that belong specifically to me. Some non-fiction, but mostly fiction, ranging across the genres. A lot of them are from when I was younger and I just haven't gotten rid of them, so I haven't read about half of them in years.

Most of my reading material comes from the library. That place is your best friend. They hold books for you, you can get movies and it's all free! *huggles my library* I wish I had more money to spend and space to put books, but for now, the library serves my needs admirably.

they never have the new stuff, though

I have around 300.

Can I ask something? What is manga?

wow....japanese comic books....i guess you could say. read backwords. ever hear of anime? most anime was originally a manga (naruto, bleach, i think death note. dreagon drive and thousands more)

Manga: A Japanese genre of cartoons, comic books, and animated films, typically having a science fiction or fantasy theme and sometimes including violent and/or sexually explicit material.



*hates Manga/Anime with a passion* *mumbles something about a ridiculous waste of paper and time*

Hm...*goes to count*

About 150 in my room, 300 in the office, 50 randomly around the house, and about 300 more downstairs....but I'm guesstimating on everything but my room, because i"m lazy.

How many book? Hm... About 300/400? Something like that. Probably more. I've got books all over the floor, books at my dad's garage, one tall book shelf and this big cabinet thing that reaches my ceiling full of books and in other boxes around my house. I'm a book junkie.

200 books, give or take - that was a few months ago. It'll be more in the realm of 250 now...

Some precious old sci-fi, random smattering of fantasy paperbacks - the rest are primarily nonfiction, essays, translations and oddities. Not counting the children's books, which now live in several boxes in the closet.

I want more books...

Oh dear >.>

<.<

I'm not sure, but I'll try to explain how many books I have. Let's say you just got a new bookcase and all of your books fill up each and every shelf (even the top shelf) and that's still not enough room?

I have books (and manga) littered on the couch too.
