I have about 3 bookshelves full to the brim with some books thrown on top of each. But my most prized collection of first editions I only have about 50 total.

None! I either issue them from the library or borrow it from my friends. Works for me because I am only interested in getting through the story once!

I have no idea but they are more than 100 for sure. I doubt I will ever have the chance to count all of them

Wo! That is truly a lot and the highlight is that you have read every single of it. You seem to be having a miraculous reading speed..

And you read them all? Congrats if you did. I only can be proud of having 40, but read many from the libraries and friends.

610 + textbooks (I have software that keeps track)

I've read all of them (many multiple times, my favourite novel at least 30 times) except Mrs Dalloway, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Catch 22 (got repetitive at the halfway mark), Greenmantle (Charles de Lint), and the couple remaining from the last bookstore trip.

Too many to count (That's just Stephen King.)

Let's say I have a lot.

I wouldn't even want to count how many books are in my home.

I've been trying to get rid of the ones that are collecting dust. I'd rather them be passed on to others that will actually read them. Paperback swap is always good for rotations. And I've been building up my Kindle library.
