curiosity is killing the cat, so how much novels do you YWS members own?
i counted mine, i think i own over 35 books, about twenty of them novels, but it increases every week or fortnight, and the collection is growing...

Um...I've never actually counted...a lot, I'd think: while my cousins were asking for toys and gift cards for Christmas, I was asking for books. And whenever I really like a book I've gotten from the library, I'll go out and buy it, so...yeah. A lot.

I really don't know. I lost bookshelf space a long time ago, so I've got some in boxes and under my bed... I would estimate over two hundred books, all in all, a good portion of them novels.

Um.. oh lord. Over a hundred, I'd guess.. no, make that two hundred.

Yep.

At least. I'll have to get a few pictures of my bookcases to prove it. And yes, I have read every one of them, too.

Um....lots....and lots...I collect books, so I have about 50 collectables, plus around 50 various YA books which I enjoy (e.g. Artemis Fowl etc) and then there are the classics (havent read them all yet, but I collect them when I see them, so that I can, hehe) of which I have around 100...or so...I have a complete bookshelf full, plus at least 5 boxes. Heh. **coughs** And I get more all the time.

Of the books that are mine and that I actually read... probably pushing 300. If you include the books that are mine but didn't read, around 350. But if you include all the books in my house, it's probably a few thousand. My dad has a few books dating back to the 1700s, and the rest is really just what the Caldwell's have collected (and wrote) over the years.

Of my own personal library, let me check my database, 620 books, but if you count all in my house probably around 800.

And like Mesh I have read everyone, at least once. I, too, have pictures of my old room which held all my books.

620 books! wow, that's pretty impressive. your room must look like a library. how many years of bying books does this pan over? let me guess, two, three...or maybe more?
i admire you for your devotion to literature...lol.

Uh....


Two.

I always thought I had hundreds of books but I only have about 50 or less. I don't tend to buy books anymore, I borrow from the library first before deciding to get my own copy.

O_o

My bookcase is crammed, so I'm using my desk as a place to stuff books. Consiering that there's about five layers of books all crammed in ther, I'm not quite sure it would be good to answer that question...

Well...

A long long long long time ago I ran out of room on my bookcases do now half the floor by my nightstand has been converted to a floorlevel book case... rows of books satcked up against the wall so they won't fall down. Hehe.

It's mainly old sci-fi and fantasy from when CJ Cherryh was my faovrite author, and there's a lot of Russian literature, Dostovevsky and Chekhov and Tolstoy (I want a book by Gogol but I can't seem to find it)... a lot of philosophy and Marcus Aurelius, a lot of Anthologies of Short Stories and of course, writing books. ^_^

I have the Art of War, too, in there somewhere, along with something on Bushido and The Life and Battles of Saigo Takamori, but lol, I can't seem to find them. o.O

I have a lot, probably about forty or so, mostly novels, some guidebooks, a few text books, some handheld type stuff you could stick in your pocket.

It's great. Having to move them all sucked though.

I suppose...four bookshelves full, though absolutely all novels or fiction - I've never counted. There are a couple dozen at least floating around wherever it is - either home or elsewhere.

But books are like people in that, once you know them, they can't be a number without perplexing. 0o

hehe, I did a quick count, and of the ones out in my room, I have 350-400. That's not counting the ones I have under my bed and in storage, though most of those aren't novels...

Ta, Kelle.
