I was told if you have 1000 books you are official library. I just catalog all the books me and my wife have and it came out at 900. If I included books I have duplicates in I would have 913 books. So close but so far away. I look forward to expanding my collection. But at same time I wouldn't mind having this whole collection in ebook form so that I could travel and still have access to all my books.

How many books do anyone here on this instance have?

I have about 20 books, only 1 shelf. I try to keep books I have read and really liked to display. A lot of the books a childrens books or YA because the stories I read dont hit as hard as an adult.

I have zero shelves but a very full e-reader. I understand.

Of the books I own in paper, I have read 3 of them to completion. I think I have approximately 10 books in paper?
