Poll: Your Library

[Blitzwarp]

I've just graduated from being a Lit. major, so I naturally have over nine thousand books. XD

 

[GiantRaven]

if i can include grafic novels ... i stopped counting after 600

if "text-only" books then somewhere near 60

You have no idea how envious I look right now...

 

[Jesus Phish]

Real books that I can hold in my hand, probably 20. I've not been into reading for a few years, though I've changed on that now having bought and read two new books since the start of the year. Which means in the first two weeks of January I've read more books than in the last 5 years.

Books including ones in pdf format, over 100.

My room is basically a library. I have one bookcase that is stuffed to the gills with books. The space beside it is currently seven books high and two books deep. Then I have piles upon piles of books on either side of my bed. I really need to go to Ikea and some more bookcases.

I'd love to answer this, but I can't quite see the screen over all these damn books...

How do you think that poll will be at all useful the way it is now?!

I have maybe ~40 books

Then you clearly don't have enough books to qualify!
Books or GTFO! XD
I'm kidding, just to be clear

OT: I have quite a few of those kids 'how does it work' big diagram book and also a lot of 'classic' fiction but it's just starting to overflow. Just. X3
Do graphic novels count?

 

[dark-amon]

I own more than a hundred books, but if we count the books in the apartment where I live I have 60 unless you count each book in the book-colections as a book. In that case I have more than 150 books where I currently live.

 

[El Poncho]

I own 40-45 books I think.

 

[Darknacht]

Hundreds, I'm not sure exactly how many. I have nearly 100 on my Kindle, 8 6ft book shelves, and several stacks that have not yet found a home.

 

[kypsilon]

Many many many books. Many more of them are comics.

 

[k-ossuburb]

Fiction: 23

Non-fiction: 48

I mainly get reference books for illustration, history of art and a few medical books on anatomy.

 

[Sticky Squid]

I own about 20 books but 8 of them are Bibles my school kept giving to me.

Do graphic novels count?

Screw you chrono Imma go count all my books right now! brb

Ok I have 56 books (mainly novels)
but also
14 graphic novels
Hundreds of Beanos and Dandys up in the attic
and quite a few hundred comic books

 

[Paksenarrion]

I'm not exactly sure. I tend to borrow heavily from the public library.

 

[SpiralDots]

I don't think I can even count...the amount of bookshelves at my mum's is ridiculous (almost every room has around 2, we have two giant ones in the dining room that we got from an old bookstore going out of business) and at least 50% of the books are mine (not counting my sisters manga books though, there's probably at least 100 of them, maybe more - they take up two bookshelves, with double rows)

In my flat I have about 50+ books, the majority of them are all back at my mums since I just can't carry that many with me and don't have room for them all.

 

[OniaPL]

It's hard to find time for reading as I waste 8 hours at school, 1-2 hours walking the dog, 2-3 hours to basketball, and I can be awake for only a limited time. These things make up for 12 hours of activities, now add in this homework (essays, portfolios, etc.), and after that I have time for myself. I haven't been able to read anything I would like to lately, as I have so many books I need to read for school (need to read and make an essay about it).

I used to read a lot when I was younger, but nowadays I really don't have the time.

Edit: Forgot the main question, I have less than 50 books.

 

[Sethzard]

Well over 100, I don't know how many though.

 

[strobe]

What if someone has fifty books!? Think of the children! Oh, why won't anybody think of the children!?

Sorry for the pointless criticism but it is quite a flawed survey question.

Edit: OT: I have twenty odd; maybe thirty odd.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I suppose about 200, not counting comics. I'm really running out of storage space. My parents' library is way bigger still. Always something new to read.
