How many books do you Have?

like 40 many of them are ebooks 😛

I only own few books and most of these books are used during my review. Then I have some business books for business from experts of different industries.

like 5. i had more but i let friends borrow them and they "lose" them so i had like 8 aahahahaha

Probably a little more than 100, but most of them are school books that I am unable to sell back. Terribly expensive and typically useless. mmm

a freakin lot, i really need to count and catalogue them all the way i did with our DVDs a couple years ago

Probably about 100 here and a couple hundred more at home. I like to look at them, they are very pretty. One day I hope I will learn to read, but that's really secondary to me.

50-60, I donated about 150 a few years back, so poor kids could learn to read and stuff.

40ish, spread out over several locations.

A couple of thousand, but that's between my brothers and I (we share a house, and can't remember who bought which books!).

Too much to name!

I have several hundreds books, but with that many my brother and sister are always borrowing them. I rarely read a book more than once, so after I read it, my whole family follows up.

Well my dad has a personal library. It's pretty big.

Too many. My wife hates me. I had to box many up. I have to book cases full of stuff in the house. Complete set of Stephen King, Hunter S. Thompson, Bukowski, some books on Chaplin and Orson Welles, a handful of graphic novels...

Less than a dozen, unless you count my dad's books, which I read freely. Then the number gets up into the hundreds.

Oodles of books. A lot are at my mom's though 🙁

^ Nothing wrong with that.

I have about 150 books.

Let me twist the question to some extend, I'm a new writer. I just finished the 2nd draft of my first novel. I just realized (after another post, and the answers I got) that it seems other writers work on more than one book/novel at a time. I don't know why this didn't really occur to me. I thought it would be better to focus on one project, start to finish. Then move to the next one. But I can see the logic in having 2 books going at once. Like someone said, you can work on a draft of one, after just finishing the draft of the other. Then flip flop, so when you return to a book, it seems more new than doing draft after draft, back to back, of the same book.
My only concern/problem with this is it'll take longer to finish a book, and make it ready to send out.

So I'm curious what other serious writers do, or what you've found works. I'd especially like to hear from published, "successful" writers. 🙂 And/or those of you who make your living on your writing, which is where I'm striving to be.
Thanks!

Hundreds. I save every book I've ever had, so my children's books are at my parents' home. at my apartment, I've got two enormous [floor to ceiling] bookshelves, so probably about a little over a hundred here. I buy books a lot, I've never really been psyched about the library thing because the returning part is always hard for me. But anyway, I have more books than can fit on the shelves, so they're in a constant state of flux. I have three more bookshelves at my parents' house, in what is now my dad's office, so a good two hundred there.

So probably four hundred in total, counting ones I used to read over and over and the ones I now read over and over.

Not so many, not just a few, just enough 🙂
