Poll: Your Library

[AWAR]

I have but one good book, The Bible.

I know the good book's good because the good book says it's good?

Apparently you can't argue with the word of God, even if it's in written form.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

A lot, mostly comics and fantasy stories... wait, do mangas count?

 

[Radeonx]

4 textbooks and around 10 novels.

 

[Sebenko]

I have a fair few. A house isn't right without books.

My parents have masses of books- all sorts of atlases, animal husbandry, English literature, encyclopedia. Yeah, we have one room with two walls of books. Tastefuly decorated, too. Probably has nothing to do with my love of steampunk asthetics...

 

[D Moness]

if i can include grafic novels ... i stopped counting after 600

if "text-only" books then somewhere near 60

(Huzzah for Mark Twain stuff being free on the internet!)

Wait what? Can I get a link to that?

Right here...in my box of tricks:

Spoiler: Mark Twain stories link

http://www.readbookonline.net/stories/Twain/2/

There's loads of free shit there and elsewhere. You just have to look for it. For example, I found the Mark Twain stories by googling "Mark Twain stories". Nifty, huh?

Also, if you like Mark Twain, I urge you to watch the 80s claymation film 'The Adventures of Mark Twain'. It's incredible but unfortunately underrated due to claymation not becoming big until a few years after... Anyway, you can find the whole film on youtube; it's split into about 10 parts, which is a little annoying but hey, atleast it's free right??

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Many, many several. Easily more than 100. I've essentially become the house library...

Oh, and now I have a kindle, so storage space isn't going to be a problem any longer! I envisage a great increase in my book library

 

[chieften]

I'd say I have 20 at home and about another 15 up in my dorm. I used to have EVERY animorphs book as a kid (all 53 and the tangential storylines)

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

About 10.

I don't like to read books anymore.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

2.5 bookshelves... Not nearly enough for my knowledge singularity, however.

 

[revolutionaification]

I have at least a hundred in this room right now but there's another four bookcases around the house and I store a good few in them so I'd say probably about the 200 mark.

Now, if you added in all the ones the rest of my family own...

 

[MetalDooley]

Not gonna bother counting but from just glancing at my bookcase I'd say easily 200+

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

You should have some more options i think. I love reading but it's pretty damn difficult acquiring good literature around here, so i can't build up a good "library". I've got a good 15-20 books in my personal cupboard right now.

 

[Naheal]

What's a book? Do you have it on kindle?

 

[Jonluw]

I don't know what to answer.
Do the books my parents own count? If so, it's a few hundred.
Do manga/comic books (not magazines, books (mostly pocket books)) count? If so, I might be at 100 or something.
If only "proper" books that I, myself, own count, I would say I own less than 50.

 

[Verp]

Depends if comic books count... With comic books, easily more than 100, without it's more like 50 or maybe less. Almost all of those are nonfiction. I don't read much fiction nowadays, don't have the time.

 

[Snork Maiden]

About 10.

I don't like to read books anymore.

I hardly ever find the time to read anymore, but I keep buying books because they just look so pretty on my shelves. Browsing bookstores and picking something neat up will always be one of my greatest pleasures.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Less than 50, even including school books (real books, not that japanamation anime shit). If you count magazines, probably over 50 from those 2 years of Thrasher I have sitting in my closet. I don't read much...

 

[MEEBO17]

I have a TON of books. Hardly any manga.

 

[incal11]

Several hundreds, not even counting all the mangas and comics.
Got an ebook reader recently because space was becoming a problem, and it's awesome. May be a bit expensive but well worth it, definitely.
