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 haven't actually counted, but if you count comic books and graphic novels, probably close to 20,000? Something like that.

Just want to say that is a crazy amount of books. You must have large amount of space.

Two rooms.

The comic book room:

We also run a little free library, but there's only so much space in there and it's continually revolving:

Oh wow love it! I love to run a little free library, unfortunately live in a neighborhood surrounded by anti book Mega fucks. So probably get vandalized. What's under the books on the free little library?

I zoomed in and was able to make it a label that says dog treats

I counted our graphic novels but haven't added my comics. I should do that and update my count.

Edit: Can I also count my magazines or is that separate?

Libraries have always been books, magazines and newspapers. Nowadays it's even CDs and movies too!
