I probably only have around 400 books. I'm just guessing of course. How many do you have? |

*Only* 400 books? That's probably more than we have, but I never counted. |

You'd be surprised. I thought I only had like 100 of them, but when I counted them, it came up to 439 or something like that. |

Disregarding magazines, players' guides, and instruction booklets, I came up with 6 books. |

Counting textbooks, maybe a dozen. Not counting textbooks...zero, as far as I know. Where's the zero option on the poll?

You're an admin, you shoehorn it in somehow.

I don't understand how so many of you don't have a lot of books. They're not that expensive new and used they're even cheaper. I have only read about 15 of my books. I'm not a big reader and most of my books are well over 1000 pages. I only read to acquire information so I only needed those 15 or so books to attain the necessary knowledge that I required at the time. |

A typical book costs around $14-$15, though I have seen some cheaper, and definitely some over $20, sometimes even $40. At least that's how it is around here. Books are pretty expensive for me, so I don't get them much. That and I rarely find a book that catches my interest. I never bought a book for logic, although I will try to buy an animal book for the pictures to help me with my drawings and to inspire some new characters and designs. |

HOLY CRAPOLA! The max I ever spend on a new book is $6.95 and used it's $1-3. You must think that I was drunk when I made my last post. There's no way I'd be paying that much for a book! |

About 1000. I have a four ft. tall, 12 ft. long bookshelv I added to my apartment and its filled with books. Not to mention that my room is filled with them, as is the living room and my computer room (also one of the closets). That's not mentioning the books I left behind at my mom and dad's house. |

The most I've spent on a book was over $20. The latest book I got was a dinosaur fact book, and it was on sale for, like, $5. A thousand books? That's the most amount of books I've heard anyone say they've got. |

I never counted all of my books, but they are certainly more than 500. Many of them are nonfictions. Some of the books I bought for my interest in history are very old books which are no longer reprinted. The most expensive one I got was 80 Euros. Books are really something wonderful and mean more to me than just means of aquiring information. I am in the lucky situation of living in a region with many BIG libraries around as well as some institutes where you can study old print medias. |

There's probably more than the fore-mentioned 6 around my place. That's just my books. It's probably even less than that, but that's beside the point... in a way. |

Just having books, no matter how many, is of little value though. I heard of people who buy whole shelfes full of books just for the looks of them. They buy those books without the remotest intention of ever opening them. There are even people who buy shelves with fake book spines so it looks as if they had all the classical literature standng on their shelves while in fact is is just a bit of cardboard with a picture of books spines on it. That is really pathetic! |
