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?

Own my home have for 7 years (luckily bought right in 2018) couldn't afford to move if I wanted to. Which we do. One need a bigger place this one is getting to small, and old and can't afford to put the money to keeo it up. But mortgage is just what we can afford. No fucking way could I afford to rent even one bedroom in today's economy.

One of the many reasons we afford to buy the occasional book.

My wife once suggested to me that if my books ever start to take up too much space, we can just build an extension out of books.
