How many books do you own?

Scroll to see replies

I have about 400 books all together. However, half of my books are complete works of authors. E.g. I have all of Shakespeare’s plays, sonnets, and poems collected into one big volume in order to save some space in my room. I have 50 books I haven’t gotten around to reading yet because I also borrow books from libraries that I want to read too
Estimate at around 300 physical books, and less than 10 e-books.
I do not own many books, sadly. :sad: I would love to have my own personal library, but I move around quite a bit and have had like eight addresses since 2014, not to mention that I will most likely keep moving every year or so until I finish my studies, so I cannot exactly afford to own books at the moment. :erm: Instead, I mostly borrow books from the library. Sometimes, I read e-books, but I do not have to do that usually since I can borrow any book that is of interest to me from the library. :smile:

Looks like that you appreciate to read physical books, that is an impressive number.

I would always just prefer to have a physical book in front of me, but when I have to travel, it can be almost impossible, but I still take physical books with me.

When I am travelling I have a book by the size of a pocket to read. So I am able to carry on it everywhere. :smile:
I have over 400 physical books and no E-books - never have, hopefully never will!
Mm I have some hooks but I mostly just read online cos I dont have the money to be buying so many books. I have about 30

To the people who have said numbers in the hundreds - how many of them have you read? :tongue:


I'd say I've read 4/5 of the books I own.

Owning hundreds, or owning fewer? :tongue:
This is a rude question.

This question for me is like :

How much do you have in your bank account?

Because my books are equivalent to all the money in the world for me.
