Title: personal library
Post by: Gerianne on September 17, 2014, 09:17:33 am

Do you have a personal library of books? Have you ever seen a huge collection of books that an individual person has [ a relative or friend]?
I saw a lady's large collection of books. She kept all the books she received from the book club over 50 years. She says that she has read them all and some of them, she has read twice.

I keep quite a few of my books and have been giving some of them a second reading recently.

I also keep a collection of books. There's nothing better than having books around. To try to converse space though, I try to pass along some books to friends and family. I also borrow from the library, and use my e-reader sometimes. Though I really like the feel of an actual book in my hands.

I have my favorite collection of books, yes, I do.  I'm very big on horror and have many Stephen King books.  He's my favorite author.  Of course, I've got my other collection of books, away from the horror.  I always dreamed of having my own library room, filled to the top with wonderful books.  This would be the room I'd be spending a LOT of time in.

I have maybe 100 books, mostly paperbacks, in boxes. I have always thought the old houses with the wooden bookshelves built in, with the old books on the shelves was beautiful

I keep a few favorites, but since retiring have been trying to down size.

I have a small "library" of books.  About a third are related reference books related to my job, the rest are pleasure reading books.  They are scattered around, but if put all in one place could take up 2, maybe 3 tall bookshelves.

I have my little collection of books. I've read most of them but not all of them, still. Hopefully soon though. I'm still working my way through Stephen King's The Bachman Books.
