Do you like books? Do you collect a certain kind?

It really depends on my mood. I had all my books shipped over to Scotland when I moved here. I am a true book worm. I will read just about anything. I do like a good mystery or spookies. Our next house will need an extra bedroom that I can have as a library. I have well over 2000 books.

Oh I have had so many books! When we had to move to this much smaller place I really hated the fact that I would not have the room for all of them. I had to give a lot of them away.I like to read any Stephen King books,as well as Patricia Cromwell, Robin Cook and John Nance. I also read the "Left Behind" series as well as the "Da Vinci Code". I also like books about people or some non fictions.

I have a small collection of Bibles in different versions. Basically it's for a better understanding of the scriptures. I also have a lot of motivational,self help, psychology books. Whatever catches my fancy. I have some religious,inspirational books as well. A lot of books in African American fiction, non fiction. I love bios and have them as well.

I do have a room converted into a library, and I always have a couple of new books to read. Right now, I'm reading Brother Odd, the third in a group of books based on a fictional character called Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. I like thrillers and sci-fi, and I collect all sorts of cookbooks. I also have a large collection of nursing books from when I was in school. I have a whole shelf full of craft books for things I'd like to try someday. Whenever I go to garage sales, books are the first thing I'll look at.

I love to buy books particularly the science fiction/fantasy kind. I tend to buy science fiction/fantasy books of my favorite authors. I also buy books of my profession to keep me updated. :)

Have you ever played that video game on the Playstation One console called "Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare"? Well, I want to set up a library like on that game. Well, maybe just a large room for the library, not three stories like on the game. That would be nice though. I wanna have different sections for different types of books. I have mostly fantasy books, horror books and religion books. I have many 500 or more paperback books from the library. We could take the paperback books that were donated to the library for free, which is where I got most of them from.

Oh I have hundreds of books - loads of them I haven't read yet but I still keep buying them unfortunately! Actually I buy anything that interests me, there isn't one particular genre really although I like biographies and travel books so I do have a lot of them. I'm quite partial to mysteries as well though, I love Agatha Christie type stuff. It occurred to me when reading your post though that I have six bibles on my bookshelves which, as I'm not a believer, some people might find odd lol! Five were given to me when I was a child and one I bought myself at a second-hand bookstore because it's beautifully bound and illustrated. I do buy quite a lot of old books, they have a certain character I think.

I am the same way. My book rack looks as bad as a library. I have books on health. I also read a lot of horror books like Stephen King, Dean Koonts and most recently Iris Johnsen.

I love books and reading. I have somewhat of a small collection of westerns, which are my favorites. I also have many books about trading in the financial markets and self help type books. But, I can read just about anything.

I collect all different kinds of books as I like to read all kinds of stuff. I have a Halloween kids book collection as well as Halloween decorating. I love Halloween 365 days of the year. I also enjoy a good mystery or paranormal romance.

I have a whole bunch of the classics, Dickens, O'Henry, Bronte, Lewison, and I have a few romantic books, but I love mystery, and suspense. I also have a whole lot of How to Write books, but I have not gotten any for such a long time, budgets and not much time to read what i already have. If I had the money I would like to collect Christian fantasy and mystery and suspense, with a military flavor or a science fiction bent. But I do not like anything with that much swearing in them.

If there is an author I like, I want to have all of his/her books in hardback on my bookshelf. I prefer hardback book over softcover for any of hte books I buy.

I've had to cut down on my book buying habits a lot in the past few years. I used to belong to every book club imaginable. Then it dawned on me, heck, if I really want to read a latest bestseller just go to the library for it. But you should see my collection of books I do have. I've been collecting books for well over thirty years and no doubt have thousands. My bookcases are crammed to overflowing, have book shelves all over the place, and my so -called linen closet has one shelf devoted to linens while the other shelves have, yes, you can guess, books! I have science books, history, anthropology, and on and on. The only books I do buy now though are those that I might want to re-read over again. I'm a great fan of children's/young adult books, and love getting a few self-help, goal setting kind of books, and many times will get at Amazon.com as they can be real cheap there

Esterlou I do not collect books. I do read paperback books that I are given to me or I buy used. I then trade with friends. I collect teapots. I have over 200 teapots. I love my collection. MY teapot collection was packed away for three years and now is out for viewing. My husband bought me shelves that he is going to put up for me this weekend to display them properly. I then bought three little teapots today. They where 99 cents apiece at the dollar tree. I have them displayed on a little shelf that I had put up a few weeks ago. I will take photos one of these days of my collection.

I've been an avid reader for many many yrs now but its only been in the past 13-14 yrs that I've been building up a library (mind you last yr I sold close to a 100 books)...My favourite books too collect are horror, classic horror (Poe, Lovecraft), Spiritual/Pagan/Buddhist/Vodou/Native American etc, graphic novels, Self Help and finally abnormal psychology and criminology books

I love books. They are my companions. I usually buy books of motivation type, cookery, and good author books that are famous like Dan Brown books and Harry Potter series etc. I have few dictionaries too.

I love reading books but not books of the same type....I but varied variety of books all mixed up based on my mood when i go to buy them....

I love books and like you I have a great collection of bibles and Christian based books. I have some very old books that were my mothers and I also have a book that was given to me by a very old neighbour when I was young, it is 110 years old now and is called "schoolmates" a book with poems, short stories, competitions etc. It is a bit tatty but I still love to read the short stories in it.

i dont really like books, but i read some terror books somedays...

I think it's very intristing to collect books ,so ,when I go outside ,I always got many books like story books and picture books ,maybe some people will think it would waste our time , even time ,but when we think deeply ,we will see that it is very intristing ,hehe!
