[GypsyGoth]

:bigsmile: I was going to ask if all your books were stolen.

I get this urge to collect. I've got about two hundred of them I think, well I've never counted, but there is a lot.

[Stu]

About a hundred I guess. I had more but I sold them for ... money ... a few years ago. Never sell books. They are worthless. Completely worthless. Such a bulky, worthless commodity to pawn off.

[Jords]

The Harry Potter Collection...
thats about it!


I just cant get into books, Id rather day-dream.

Yes :D There are two bookcases filled with books, most are mine, I think two shelves still has books belonging to my sister.

I still have most of my childhood picture books too.

[Vicky.]

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Stu]

Did it have a chisel in it's hollowed out pages?

[King Gizzard]

Once I've read them they generally go missing so not many

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

:joker:

its probably the pin code for his bank card or something :laugh:

[Locke.]

[Princess]

A few hundred I think. I have 6 bookshelves worth in my room and then there's LOADS at the top of the spare room wardrobe.

[Omah]

[MTVN]

[Callum]

About 150, quite a few of them are educational books which I used when I was younger but I have a lot of non fiction and fiction also.

[Josy]

Roughly about 200, had to get rid of lots when I was moving back into my parents house so I gave 3 boxes of them to a charity shop.

[CharlieO]

My family as a whole probably more books than we could count. Id guess something like 7,000. Most of which are in storage.

[Benjamin]

Over 2000 :)

I haven't lived in London for over 20 years. And it's easy to move books, you just put them into boxes. Most of my books are in storage at my cousins house from when I went to Oz.

[Marc]

How many Harry Potter ones were there?

[Patrick]

Camp Teen Magazines from when I was like 12, I had them imported from America because I loved America and wanted to be like American and stuff, the magazines are all from like 2008.

You sound like a hoarder. I hate it when people hold onto all sorts for years and years on end, I'm always having a clear out. lol

[Novo]

Do you have jedward fever's autobiography?

[joeysteele]

Also a lot of books on pop music covering all decades, Plus the political and Law books I need for my studies.

[Zippy]

For some bizarre reasons I'm drawn to film guides. I seem to have about 9 big thick ones.

bizarre because I don't actually watch many films. I just like reading reviews!

Im not into fiction though and most of my books are factual.

[joeysteele]

Do you have jedward fever's autobiography?

:joker:No of course not, he and I are both far too young to have autobiographies written,however when the time is right I will likely be writing his and he will be writing mine.

[billy123]

About 20-30 and thats because they are my to read next list once ive read a book it either goes to the charity shop or i give it away.
I dont see the point in hoarding books that ive already read.

[Livia]

I've got thousands of books. I've still got almost every book I've ever had and I re-read them constantly.

[Boothy]

I have about 20.

[jennyjuniper]

Well how many you got?

I think about 700. I miscalculated at first because I haven't enough bookshelves and so most of them are doubled up.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I just put a full mailsack of books in my wheely bin.

What does 'stop bumping old threads' mean?
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm a wrinkly, who has only been using a computer for a short while and a lot of the jargon used on these sites leaves me completely baffled.

[Lostie!]

stop bumping old threads for the love of god

Would you rather they make new threads on topics that clearly already have threads that can be added to? :shrug:

could you not have donated them to the hospital or the hairdressers or something, or even sell the bag to a car booter?? what a waste

not many as I never re read books so generally give them to a charity shop or to the jumble sale.

[kirklancaster]

Ditto - only I haven't now thousands but over a thousand I should think.

Stop being so rude. This thread was bumped by a newer forum member that actually had something of worth to add to the topic.

I throw away hundreds of books a month and no - they are paperbacks and have no value. If fact they often clogg up charity shops

[Josy]

I am back to having around 500 or so again. I'm going to take some more boxes to the charity shop though.

[Cherie]

Why no value even if just sold for 20p or less, my sons barber has a load of books they loan out for 1.00, they have given over 1500 pounds to the disabled veterans club across the street, at least put them in recycling :fist:

[Shaun]

Still only about 100 :shrug: storage is a problem, although I do give old ones I don't really care much about (like your fluffy Patterson thrillers) to charity.

[Xtopher]

Umm, about 80.

[Niamh.]

Not many tbh, I usually give them away once I'm finished reading them, I would very rarely re read a book, no matter how good I thought it was

[joe199998293]

On the shelf in my bedroom I have around 12. Although I have lots more on my Kindle and iBooks.
