Kingdom of Knuffel

I don't allow myself to buy anymore books till I read all , because I have too many and Ieven began reading on the internet too

I've added five more books to my manga collection

I have hundreds, but still never enough. I love reading and there are so many good books. Luckily I can share and swap with people I'm close to so I don't need to buy them all.

I don't think I could count all my books if I wanted to. Someday I hope to have the manageable kind of number that one can count and is small enough to fit on bookshelves :)

I've got so many books that I have to put them in chests and leave some at my parents's house.

If you only count the ones I either bought personally or were given, it's a lot. Count in all the books my family owns, quite a few of which are in my room... I have no idea. I just know that it's a lot of books.

I'm not too sure but if I had to guess, I'd say I have closer to 600 books. There are roughly 75 books in the bookshelf I have in my room and I keep the rest of my books in the attic.

You know, I thought I had a fairly typical number of books, for a lifelong reader who has a house to keep books in.

But then someone who came to my door recently (political canvassing started early this year) actually asked me how I'd gotten a zoning exception to have a bookstore in that neighborhood.

My house is not a bookstore, thank you very much. Those are all *my* books, and can't you see there aren't duplicates, like a bookstore would have?!

Right now, I think I'm up to about 200 in paperback/hardcover - and another 50 or so on my phone's Kindle app. Always need more :)
