I was told if you have 1000 books you are official library. I just catalog all the books me and my wife have and it came out at 900. If I included books I have duplicates in I would have 913 books. So close but so far away. I look forward to expanding my collection. But at same time I wouldn't mind having this whole collection in ebook form so that I could travel and still have access to all my books.

How many books do anyone here on this instance have?

I read a lot but try so hard not to buy books at all, just get them from the library and still have a bookshelf full. After giving away a bookshelf full when I moved. I don't know whether to say congratulations or send sympathy, the thought of owning and cataloguing so many books gives me anxiety.

I love owning books and always dreamed of having such a collection. I still have so many I want to own as well. But it isn't for everyone. I can say I been building this collection for 14 years now.

Ok, congratulations it is then! My mom had a book room, shelves on every wall full of books.
