I have no idea how many books I have, but I'm guessing it would be close to 500-odd or so

As for checking books outta the library... I find this incredibly difficult to do. I cannot bear to read a book and not keep it. Actually, sometimes I think I love collecting books even a little more than I love reading them-- though, don't get me wrong, I love to read.

But it is absolute
agony for me not to be able to keep a book. I've lost many a library membership that way. Cause I kept 'em. :oops:

i used to burn a book after i read it i have as many as can fit the shelves but i like the library even though the one i go too sucks for content i can order stuff and all i read anymore are the classics so thats all i care about.im not a very fast reader ill reread lines over and passages but im quite pedantic in a way that ill get hung up on the meanings behind the words or as i say "I cant see the page through the print" thats original i think :wink:

I have one book which is a training manual for vigilantes. It is called "fighting the criminal - break his mind and then his body"
