Mine has books.
- Luc 17y agoYeah, but then those are implied. > 2500 last time I counted.
- ryandvm 17y agoA bookworm pissing contest? Really?
- Ixiaus 17y agoImpressive. Have you read all of them (that would be even more impressive)? I know a lot of people with incredible libraries in their homes but they don't read any of the books the have...
- Luc 17y agoIt's quite an unordered mess, so it looks less impressive than it sounds! I'm just getting old and have been buying for a while. I think it is compensation for my _awful_ memory - I read books with pencil in hand, underlining and making notes in the margins, so I like to keep the books around after I have read them. Also libraries here often don't carry the books I want to read (or they're translated), so buying makes sense for me. I don't do this with novels of course. Lately I have been thinking I should make notes on the computer instead, like Derek Sivers does, e.g. http://sivers.org/book/ArtOfProfitability http://sivers.org/book/ArtOfProfitability To finally answer your question, I have a stack of about 250 books I haven't read yet. Some of them I'll probably never read - I once bought the 10 best poker books, but I just can't get interested in the subject anymore.
