Hi myLotters, are you one of those people who can't stop collecting books? Or maybe you have a lot of books... just because?
At my parents' house we have a lot of bookshelves and cases- full of my dad's books, encyclopedias, and atlases, and even my old childhood books. I was spoiled with books as a child.:)

What about you?
Sincerely,
virusxtreme24

I have so many books that we don't have room for all of them. I really need to get another bookcase so that I can put them all away and neatly...or maybe I should pack some of the books up into a box and save it for when my boyfriend and I move into a bigger place.

I read a lot but do not have a lot of books. I used to have so many that they would not all fit on my shelves, so I stacked them up in a closet. I gave most away to a thrift store to de-clutter. It's not like I was going to read them again anyway. I only have a small collection of books left now. I am not planning on letting it grow again either. So I mostly get books from the library. If the library does not carry the book I want then I will try to buy it then give it away after I am done reading.

I do not have many books in my house. I tend to regularly go through them and get rid of ones I do not think I will ever use again. The only books I always keep are my travel books. Also, the select other ones I keep are not kept in my house. I keep them in my studio and some are still in storage from when I moved out of my parent's house.

I personally have a ton of my own books. At least enough to fill up over two five foot tall bookcases, but right now they are still in boxes because we've just moved a few months ago and I haven't bought new book cases yet. We also have a ton of children's books. Each of my two children have a bookcase of their own that they have filled with books. I am quite a reader which explains why I have so many books and as far as the kids go, they have a ton of books because I want them to have the same kind of love of reading as I've got.

I have about two dozen boxes of books and the books I have that aren't in boxes probably will take another dozen boxes. I keep wanting to start taking them out to sell to used book stores, but I never found the time, or the inclination to carry a big box with me.

My father have lots of books. I grew up among books and am an avid reader myself. As I have grown up I have added many more recent books to my father's collection.

I was addicted to book collection, until we had to shift.
The government gave eviction order and we had to move to a new house. That was the time I parted with so many books. I couldn't bear to throw away so many books, but then I knew that I would never read the books again.
Now I stop myself my buying books. At least I do not have to deal with parting with books again.
