I am curious!
How big are all of your private libraries? Consisting of Fantasy and in general.
 
All that I know is that it is not the size that counts, but the quality.

At last count, my library was slowly approaching the 200 book mark.
 
The most I've ever had is roughly 200ish but theres so much dross that I tend to give them away on a regular basis.. currently around the 50 mark.

Currently 700 +
+ a few hundred more stored at my parents attic.
Even the 700 I can't shelve all, I have alway at least 50 borrowed out to friends, and still two rows of books per shelf.
 
I'll guesstimate that my library has about 600-700 books total. About 160 of them are in my 'to-read' pile.
 
I have about 275 books boxed up in my grandma's garage in the US. That was the worst thing about moving here to Sweden. I'd say our bookshelves here in Sweden have about 300 books on them, but a good portion of those are in Swedish, which does me no good, and a good portion are repeats of books I already had, so they do me no good either. Moving in with a fellow book lover is a great way to expand a library, though. I highly recommend it. He has several series which I haven't read yet, but will eventually get to.

665 books on the shelves, with 33 of them on the not read yet shelf but included in the 665.
269 on the to buy someday list.

Library software Rules!

I have precisely 297 books. Currently, there is a mere one on loan.
Wow I never new I had so many books. Maybe I should get a life. :rolleyes:
 
Alright, I love my books. I love my books more than life itself. Life, life, lif , li, l...Must read books. See what you've done.:D

Thank you Qin my life has been restored.
 
I've never counted all of my books, but I have about 6 boxes of them in storage, two overflowing bookshelves in my bedroom and a couple stacks of books in the bottom of my daughter's closet. Maybe I have...300 books or so. But only about a quarter of those are fantasy. I have a lot of reference books too, and literature, and even 'gasp' mainstream fiction like Margaret Atwood.

I have about 500 on a groaning bookcase, and about 200 boxed in the attic... and yes there are a few reference books in that lot as well.

Sidenote: Leave the spam to the General Discussion forum.
 
I's guys(and girls) like you make me realize how few books I actually have.Back in romania I used o have 1000-s of them(about two-three of them fantasy, but they're still there. They were not tmine alone anyway)
Here, I have a maximum of 75 book thaI can call my own. They include a ... hmmm... a large collection of three investigators novels... A 1883 Bible, and two 1905 maths books.
I gotta take a visit to the bookstore. and buy a new keyboard. Grr.
