Used to have less than 20, these few years it ballooned to about 300. Now I am curious, I will have to count them. For some reason, that send a frisson of excitement down my spine (what in the world?!) Think Uncle Scrooge with his pile of coins *snigger*

I lost track of some though, people borrowed it and plain didnt return them. I dont mind if I know they kept it nicely. But some lost it and then dont want to admit it. And since I pressed my favs on them, now I cant read them myself.

I have about 300++ books and keep increasing. Just like u Persephone, ppl borrow my books never return. Now, I charge whomever want to read my books. If they don't return the books, never mind cause then with their deposit money I can buy another copy

Added 3 new bookshelves few months ago. Now i have more space for more books. One of my dreams is to have a mini library when i have my own place in the future. Right now I'm staying with my parents and sharing room with my sisters so it's not possible. I really have to start making a list of all the books i have, because i tend to forget what i have. Last month i accidentally bought 2 James Patterson's books of the same title shakehead.gif

what i would give to have floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with books. i carry around a list of books i want to buy, to avoid buying same titles. also, i keep an online catalogue of my books, so that i can check online before i make the purchase.

Comics (malay & english) -> 1,000+
Non-Fiction Novels -> 100+
Fiction Novels -> 300+
Magazines (all sorts including reader's digest, dengeki hobby or national geographic) -> 1,000+

All are mine alone, not including my mum's cook books, my brother's accounting books or my gf's chinese romance novels...

More than half are stored in boxes in the store-room...only those i foresee i have interest in reading them within the next 2 yrs are in my room's shelves...room too tiny to cramp all in... sad.gif


And what's GS Section btw? Won't mind to get a few more non-fiction miliary related novels...


Added on October 7, 2010, 3:37 pmOops, jst saw that GS stands for Garage Sales... Anyway, couldnt find anything related to military...so if anyone here's about to sell off their military non-fiction novel, jst drop me a PM...so long as i dont have it, chances are i would buy it from you, anywhere from WWII to current conflict....~

i'm not going to start counting all the books in my house. with 3 bookworms in it (myself included) there should be at least 500+. Not to mention we gave a lot of the older ones away because they took up space.

Not many, say about 100-200. That's only because I tend to be really 'picky' about what I'm gonna read...

I think I've got about~~ 2000+books. Well there's the textbooks,reference books..but my mums been a reader since like forever and she has like this amazing collection of books which we bought back in US during garage sales for like 25cents each. Mind you, they were pretty good books by John Grisham, Tolkien..yata yata yata. Now starting my own collection, muahahaha but not going nowhere much, very expensive books and the fact that I usually read a normal 600page book in 2 days, making me feel all like, 'what?? I'm done?'
