Roughly 1250 books according to my catalogue in Zotero; collected by me and my wife. 320 of those are non-fiction, including cookbooks (one shelf in the kitchen), and books on various historical topics and Japanese language. Technical topics though; not so much, even though we both work in software engineering. Of the fiction section, most of it is in English, with some Dutch (obviously, being Dutch) and German as well. About half of the fiction is science fiction or fantasy; from classics to modern. The other half is a collection of all sorts of literary works; featuring plenty of classics, but also more recent works. A full wall¹ of our living room is shelving for books. One thing we are particularly happy with is that since building this bookcase we've had a child who at three now knows no better than that reading is completely normal and a pleasant diversion. Despite not being a reader himself yet, he does consume books at a good rate, either being read to or just browsing the picture books by himself. 1: Photos from just after building it: https://twitter.com/jdhoek/status/885499829052485632 https://twitter.com/jdhoek/status/885499829052485632
