That's what calibre is for. 3000+ and still growing. "Want to read" is a bit nebulous - I know all too well that what I want to read this month may change next month, so I must have a bit of nearly everything. If it's in my library, then it's something I feel I will want to read at some point.

I see no logical reason to limit myself as long as I'm not blowing my budget.
