I see numbers here that translate (based on people's previously stated reading rates) to 10+ years!
I think some of you need your OCD meds to combat your hoarding.  |
It's not just a question of numbers, it's more about choice, surely? I have around 500 books on my e-reader, not because I think I'll read them all one after the other, but because I like to have the choice of what I read when I'm travelling - kind of like carrying my whole paper book collection with me when I travel.
Having said that, I do admit to an element of hoarding when it comes to books
