How many books do you own not including manga, comic books, or magazines?
I have 66 books in my room which are mainly educational and fantasy and then outside in my hallway there are 3 bookcases which are completely filled with mainly mystery and suspense about 80% of those are mine. Rounded out I own 200+ books. I used to have a lot more but traded them in at the 1/2 priced bookstore for new ones.

I own well over a hundred, with everything from sci-fi, to fantasy, classic literature, to martial arts and epics set in Japan. A little of eveything, really.

Ok, let me revise the question.
How many books do you own (that personally belong to you because you purchased them, recieved them as gifts, or actually stole them from school or a library) not including manga, comic books, or magazines?
J if your dad really give you those books in your attic, may I borrow some of the ones I picked out at your brother's bday party?

Nice Andy. I'm sure I have 100+ books upstairs, lol most of them being Star Wars and other book series my dad bought me when I was a kid. There are a few other novels that were given to me that I'm not counting, because they're love novels and I haven't touched them.

i think my mom got rid of all my kid books. Damn, they were the shit too. Nothing like seeing freeze-frame versions of "The Lion King".
The only books i have completely unreleated to anime are by Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts, romance novelists, that are at my moms in NC. I didn't have nearly as many as you guys.

I own twenty. But I sell or donate the books after I read them and go to the library alot. Mostly because I love books and would own a library if I could.

Japanese manga is the majority...but I won't count that.
I own maybe around 25+ in good books, and maybe 30+ in those chapter books people got when they were in third grade or so.
People with a lot of books are very lucky to have so many.

People with a lot of books are very lucky to have so many. *sighs* Unless they're obsessive bookworms without a life. Many of the books I have were purchased at big fair market things (for those who know what I'm talking about, what is Rogers, Ohio?), yardsales, 1/2 priced bookstores, and the library. Although they're never new, I've never had one in poor condition. That's why I have so many.

AH! I like this question for some reason.
I own WELL over a hundred maybe going on 200 books. Not all of which are in my room however. There's no room 0-o. I am a book freak, especially for OLD books. I used to go to the library and head to the back room where all of the old books that weren't on the shelves were and I would ask if I could take them home with me. I would come home with BAGS of books and put them away. I haven't read half of them but having them just makes me feel good.
The oldest book I own right now is a history book that will be 100 years old in about 10 years. KOREA is still just KOREA no 'North' or 'South'. That's the biggest difference I noticed right away. It's falling apart.... I found it at a library sale for 2 dollars.....
The rest of my books are Language, Biography, Autobiography, Fiction (Mostly Fantasy), Shakespeare collection, Philosophy such as 'ART OF WAR' and ZEN.
Aside from that I own 62 manga and a bunch of magazines mostly J-music and fashion mags.
