how many books do you have at home?
how many of these books have you read for the last month? or week?
i love books. i have a collection of paperbacks and pocketbooks. yeah!
i have spiritual books and self-help books.
i love reading. this is my best remedy for boredom and this is the best source of knowledge.
i also love sharing my books to my friends and i ask them to write their insights, opinions or comments ON THE BOOK ITSELF if they read something that inspires them. some people don't like having marks or writings on their collection but i dont really mind it. do you find that weird?
someday i want to have my own library :P

I don't write in a book, but if I had a book with writing, unless it interferes with what I am reading, it doesn't bother me..I also love reading and if I could get shelves built in one of my walls, I could have a small library.. I also love to write and hope I can get my novel published once I get it edited..
So, what kind of books do you collect?

i have several romance novel books. but lately, i'm into collecting self-help books by Francis Kong and Bo Sanchez (these are Filipino writers). Also I'm into financial books. Anything that looks interesting really. :)

Hmm, well I have also written a novel, but it isn't ready for publishing yet. It is love/inspired/suspense genre, but not like more inspired books that are on the market, it's a little different, so maybe if or when it ever gets published, I hope you find my story interesting..

I probably have almost three hundred books at home, but I know people who have more than that amount. I only read a few from those books, I could not read all of them. I have some books about the ascetic and I like to read them. I also like reading novels, in fact I'm reading "Don Quixote". Sometimes I write notes on the books, but only if they are mine. When I borrow books, from the library, I'm forbidden to write notes on the books.

Wow, that's impressive. I wish I can have that many, hehe. I'm not really into fictional books but I have nothing against them. I love books that cover a lot of topics. I also love a book that has inspirational stories or messages so I can share it to my friends.

We actually have our own "library" in our house, which is really just a room that's dedicated solely to our books. Hubby and I both read so we've got quite a bit of books and they're overrunning everything. We're planning on building wall to wall shelves now because we have books still in boxes since we can't fit them all on the bookshelves we have now.
Writing on books themselves drives me insane, though. A few books I have are French or Spanish and they're mostly used so if someone wrote notes or translations in the sides of them they don't bother me, but for most books it drives me insane when there's writing in them. Most of my books are used, though, so it's a risk you run buying used and I won't bother erasing them, but I try to get books without marks in them if possible.
The things that drive me the most insane is if I get a book and it has highlighting in it. Pencil marks I can stand OK, but I really cannot stand highlighting. I never highlighted any of my textbooks even if teachers said to because I hate the way books look after they've got highlighter all over them.

Well I do have a lot of books at home, comic books to be precise. I have a lot (serious lot :D) of comic books. I have had comic books ever since i was a kid. I love comic books and still seldom buy them. i do have novels and self help books as well but not as much as I own comic books.
I would love to have a room full of comic book and novels, like a small library of my own somewhere in the house.

This is also one my dreams. To have my own library, where I would have the liberty to read all kinds of books. I also love comics!

Wow, that is a new one! I have never met someone who doesn't mind if their book is returned with doodles on them. I, for one, is different from you, when I lend a book, I would like it to be returned to me the way I lent it. No doodles, no creases or whatsoever But your idea is nice and fresh!
I also have a collection of books here at home. Mostly, I collect fiction. I also love reading about biographies. Most of all, I love children books especially of Roald Dahl's
