1. Far too many
I'm a compulsive book buyer, and I never seem to find the time to read them all.

3. Oh geez, me too.
Went to the neighborhood bookstore on Sunday. Wanted a CD ("Chicago" soundtrack). The music and video stuff is on the first floor, books on the second. Told myself before leaving home that I. Would. Not. Go. Up. To. Second. Floor. But just to be safe, I left my debit card at home and took just enough cash for the CD. I need help.

6. LOL
Sounds just like me. There's a local Japanese bookstore that has some really great prices on hardcovers, they also sell English language titles. I've dropped entire paychecks in the $1 section.

2. Probably 100 at least
I buy books when I see them, 'cause I'm likely to forget about them otherwise...sometimes it's a book that I don't think I'll find again.

Also, skool is taking up a large amount of my free time, so I haven't had much time for pleasure reading over the last few years, sigh...but if I ever get laid up for a while, I should be all set! :bounce:

:hi:
