So lowyatiers, how many books do u have in your house? >9000? and do u really read those books? or is it just for decoration? hahaha... show other ppl u are educated ma..  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by roticanai92: Feb 10 2009, 04:42 PM |

QUOTE(milleu @ Feb 10 2009, 04:45 PM) on my own around 100++ books. but my house have a room full with books,wall to wall. I'm not so sure how much. maybe more than 500++? I've read some of it..but sometimes there's just book that I wasn't interested in it.Political dissemination,biography,old literature books and poem.  QUOTE(ReWeR @ Feb 10 2009, 04:48 PM) If my house at kl around 50, back in my hometown around 500. Of course I try to read those are readable, I'm a practical person, I dun store book for decoration. haha, at least u took the time to read it. some ppl juz put it there for decoration.QUOTE(budakjahat @ Feb 11 2009, 08:38 AM) How many books.. around 200+ish. i dunno, never catalogue my books. never catalogue mine, but roughly more than 200 la..coz whole cupboard not enough space for it.. QUOTE(da3xiah @ Feb 11 2009, 11:47 AM) i think i have 500+ (including children reads like enid blyton stuff).. now selling some of them off to clear space. haha, cannot sell then donate lo.. I also gave a few of my books to cousins and niece.QUOTE(zenwell @ Feb 11 2009, 11:58 AM) I voted for 200-500. I'm not sure how many books but definitely more than 200. I consider this collection very small because i have limited space at home. My cupboard is too small haha, small collection? how much is considered big? wish to expand but... wait till i get my own space  QUOTE(lunalovegood @ Feb 11 2009, 12:35 PM) i didnt store it in cupboards though. its everywhere in my house. me too, but my mum will kill me if I throw around my house.   |

QUOTE(azzaim92 @ Nov 15 2010, 11:58 PM) 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?' that is insanely cheap! |
