That would take quite a while, in my case. Just the paperbacks in the shelves in the living room... say, an inch thick average, nine feet, two deep, six shelves... almost 1300 books, plus the books stacked vertically on the ends, plus the books in the shelves upstairs... then the hardbacks. And that's just the fiction. I could probably break 3000 without working hard once I threw in what I read from the library at college and in the city and school libraries when I was a kid, even discounting overlaps like Wylie & Balmer's
When Worlds Collide and
After Worlds Collide, which I first read in a single rebound volume from the school library in, IIRC, 1973, and bought as two paperback volumes about a year ago.
