Hundreds. Maybe 1000.

I think you're going to find higher than average numbers here vs. the general public.

Bobo,

I have around 600-700 books, that include study books and novels.

I don’t really know. Too many for me to bother counting them but probably in the high hundreds. In our living room we’ve got four or five meters worth of book shelves that are completely filled up and the overflow has started piling up in other rooms.

So at least a bunch :)

Physical, actual books? Probably less than 10. I’m one of those heathens that didn’t mine adopting ebooks and audiobooks. I’ve moved somewhere around 20 times, and eventually it just became easier to shift everything to digital and donate my physical books.

Thats funny to me because recently I won a hundo on a scratch it and blew it on about 15 books via Amazon… Then I won another hundo and got 10 more.

Meowoem,

Easily a thousand, probably twice that with the boxes full in the attic and under the beds

Oh, no, I’ve never tried to count our library before, only how many in some larger series, for fun. We have a (good?) problem…

  • 600+ at least, physical (I need that tactile feel).
  • A hideous amount of ebooks.
  • An exorbitantly disturbing number of audio books.

Also, are we counting manga? Or the terrible books your parents send you, (because boxing up their heft and goddamn paying to ship me your narcissism garbage and dad’s airport reads is apparently easier than donating them)? Cause if those qualify, the numbers increase significantly.

WhoresonWells,

High hundreds for sure, maybe about 1000. Some on bookcases, some in boxes, some stacked on the floor.

atrielienz,

Too many to count. If ebooks count, I’m not even gonna estimate.

Anticorp,

Hundreds of you count eBooks, about 5 if you don’t.

zepheriths,

Man I have 15 atlases, how many books? Over a hundred for sure

hypelightfly,

Far more than I care to count. I'd estimate somewhere between 500-2000 if I had to guess.

It's far less than it used to be now that I mostly read ebooks.

I probably have about 150. I’m getting so many more. I asked for at least 5 specific books for Christmas already lol. I got all of the Terry Pratchett books during the pandemic but took a break from reading them to start the R.A Salvatore books. There are so many of those as well lol
