THE BOOK REPORT: How many books do you own?

[JunkMonkey]

Ive got 'the Alchemist'. Dropped off by my daughter, a couple of years ago, but still unread. Have you read it?

Yes. Though I gave up after 20 or so pages as I thought it was simplistic, patronising sh*te.

i guess there are 4-500 books around here. some i've read, some i'll probably never read. people are always giving me books.

Thanks for the tip. I still haven't read it, but because my daughter gave it to me, I still have it on the bookshelf, lol

Tricky. The library is literally wall to wall books floor to ceiling (we had shelves custom made when we moved in 20 years ago. The spaces are moveable to accomodate books of different sizes), the spare bedroom has a wall shelf by the door, the main bedroom has two bedside shelves and the downstairs backroom has a glass cabinet bookshelf for the antique books, family and gardening books. Aside from that books find accomodation on various seats and tables, though as yet none have found their way into the kitchen (cook books live with the family books along with the gardening books)
