    Default bookshelves

    how many bookshelves would you estimate are in your home?

    Do you have one in every room?

    Do you have books in every room? (including the kitchen, the bathroom, etc etc)

    How many books would you say you have?

    (you can count magazines if you are lame like that)

    Too many. Most of our books are stored away in cupboards because we have so many and not enough bookshelves.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    5? Yes, 5. Half of which are mine.

    Just about, there are 2 in the living/dining area, one in my room, one in my brother's room, and one in my parents' room.

    Yes, every room except for our downstairs office and spare bedroom.

    skullskullskullskull, I don't know how many books in total. 700's maybe?

    I defined a row of books one deep about 3ft across as a single shelf, and I counted 30 of those. I then defined the average book as having a 1" spine, so 30 shelves is easily a thousand books after a cursory examination of the house. There's more upstairs I think, too.

    as for unit bookshelves, as in the tall amalgation of several shelves, there's about seven

    I don't think there's one in the house.

    Three in my bedroom, but I have enough for probably another two shelves lying on top of the books on those shelves. Plus some more put away in my wardrobe. Easily have over a hundred books.

    Four in my apartment. Two in the living room, one in my bedroom, and one in a box at the top of the stairs.

    I do not want to attempt to count books. Several hundred.

    There's a bookshelf in every room except the kitchen, and two bookshelves in my room. I have no idea how many books I have.

    Me and Daniel just got a bookcase for the spare room it's about as tall as Daniel. It's holding around 115 books.

    0. PDF is king.

    Realistically, I have several bible/bible study books, psychological study books, mathematical theory books, and nerdy crap of the like, but they are all on a shelf, which holds books, but is a far cry from a book shelf. By that, I mean the shelves across the top of my spare closets. ( I have 9 closets to my self, four in my room alone.) I feel so shelf-ish. geddit?

    There are no bookshelves in my new flat, but the only thing I'd have to put on them are my law books, which completely ruined reading as a hobby for me by the way.

    I geuss I have two in my room, but that's probably it for the whole house. My Mum reads crap loads of books but I have no idea where she stores them. I have this one cabinet in my cupboard and it's so full of books and school books and folders etc that I don't dare move any of it as they'll all go everywhere ;o
