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 1,180 on my shelves according to Library Thing, and dozens more in boxes. Almost all from used book stores!

I hope you never have to move

I'm definitely evaluating which books I am collecting vs just want to read. I strongly prefer paper to ebooks for the experience of reading, but I may need to give in.
