I have tons. I should count them. I probaly have a little less than you do, seeing as there are also many books I have in storage. i must admit I have quite a collection. people stare in awe at my masses of books. and I know I've read more than 3 thousand books in my lifetime. (14 years) i;m such an obsessive reader... :roll:

My english teacher is amazed at how much I read. it's because Iwas in AP english before The work became stressful. *drools*

Hundreds, even after I threw out the ones I didn't like a month ago. I wouldn't want to try to count them.

Including telephone books? :roll:

I have around 20, most which are paperbacks. I'm a voracious reader but check out books from the library since I only want to read a book once. That way, I get to read all I want and save my money for other things like......beanie baby collecting. Unfortunately, at the moment, I owe the library a big late fee and won't be making anymore trips until my income gets a lift.

sorry about your late fee. I had to pay 60 cents to the school library because I was reading the book witch hunt three times...I was only late by a day though!
