I was wondering, how many books do people have in their homes? I often find that in some test we do at school we are asked 'how meny books we have at home?' and there are only answers that go up to 200+. In my house we have well over 5000 books and maybe lots more

does anyone else have a similar number of books

We have lots. Not quite as many as you, but still probably over 1000. And they're all neatly on bookshelves.

well boxes are just as good (as long as you know which books are in which boxes)

i personally own about 200 books and in my house there is probably about 500. thats fiction books and we have like 1000 national geographic books and heaps of picture books from when i was little

somewhere ranging from 500 to 2000

I've got at least 200 in my tiny little room.

Before my parents divorced, around 6-7 years ago, we had a whole lot more. Since my Mom left the number has gone down quite a bit (she took all of the books with her). My Dad seems only interested in computer books.

I personally own around 60, that's it.

I own about 60 as well, but most are quality and I've read them a few times. There are also books all over my house, and whatever. I should go out and buy more.

well I basicaly live in the school library and that has 6349 at last count

:| All libraries in South Carolina are horrid. I just read stories off the net if I get bored. My time is spent either writing my own stories or playing Starcraft. My life is...very eventful.

StarCraft! That was the fourth computer game I was seriously into (and the difference between the occasional gaming session and playing loads of games). The first three were, in order, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, US Navy Fighters, and Ultima VII. Raised on flight sims, until I discovered other genres existed.
Haven't played it for ages though. I've been playing Dawn of War and Rome: Total War recently to satisfy my RTS requirement.

Starcraft is excellent.

StarCraft was the RTS game... *Stares fonding at cover*
I'm a bit of an addict (Getting games at Rs 50 (1$) per CD helps) StarCraft, Undying, Planetscape: Tormet, WarCraft III, NFS Most Wanted, Age of Empires III... ect, ect
