    More than I can be bothered counting. About 250-300 in my bedroom, plus maybe another 300-400 in other rooms of the house. Other than that, I have over 10000 ebooks / text files currently shared, and around 2000-3000 more in my current downloads directory.

    Most of the actual books have been read at least once, but I generally have 100 unread ones at any given point. I have a bad habit of going to charity shops and just buying anything that catches my interest, so I end up buying books faster than I can read them.

    I've got the same habit.
    This pump dispenses gasoline, a fossil fuel. People who believe fossils are not real should put something else in their tanks.

    Like a few others here I have feckin' hundreds of books. Me missus used to be area manager for a chain of bookshops and got a very generous discount. We used to buy books all the time. We also bought from the usual charity shops, jumble sales etc. There's an Oxfam on Byres Road, Glasgow (next to the Uni) which only does books.

    Now interesting books, that's another story. I have a complete set of the Ency Brit (couldn't be arsed spelling it) which used to belong to the Coats Library. They are from 1902 and are quite fantastic. I also have books autographed by Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams and various other people.

    I have consulted with Clocker and we've decided you are old enough to drop names thus, but owing to mental incontinence rather than the usual boastage.

    It's not boastage, it's a statement of fact. Fact.

    Alright.

    I own a copy of Rush Limbaugh's book The Way Things Ought To Be.

    It has been autographed by Ted Nugent.

    Fact.
