So on tiktok there's been a viral sound saying "on average most people have around 15 books in their house". So, lemmy, how many books do YOU have in your house? Is that sound true? (literature.cafe)

Physical books peaked at around 4000, but over the course of a few moves over the last decade and a half have dropped to maybe 1500 or so now.

Ebooks, I really have no idea. A friend gave me a couple of large collections - well into four figures - some years back and I have acquired quite a few others since then one way or another - and this made me a lot happier about shedding the physical ones that were now duplicated. Anyway, Calibre tells me almost 9000, but I know that I have not actually added everything to that collection.
