    My library has 117 books. But they are mostly of Science and Math. The others are stored.

    Not many anymore. I've got almost all in electronic form. I use books as reference mostly. It's been awhile since I read anything that's not something related to the job at hand or a reference manual. I do my reading online mostly.

    I sold off most of my books but my old library consisted of Nietzsche, Kiersey, Kretshmer, Joseph Conrad, books on health, and temperament. Now I have a few Kurt Vonnegut books, some books on buddism a friend sent me (not an ideology I fully agree with) and a few others. I can't read ebooks over a computer or tablet. I need to have them in physical form.

    My library is currently a tiny bookshelf with a few textbooks on it in a disorganized fashion. Mark my words though, once I have my own house/apartment and income, I'll have a magnificent library. I already have the plans constructed in my mind.

    It'll consist of at least one bookcase dedicated to natural science: ordered from the fundamental to more developed subjects.

    Then there would be a case for fiction, which will be ordered based on genre.

    And the last bookcase will be on history, politics, geography, social sciences, linguistics, etc.

    On the walls, there will be allusions, quotes, and references to the books found in the library.

    In the center of the room will be a desk and possibly a PC particularly suited for categorization. There will also be ebook versions of all books in the library on a few ebook readers. On the last wall, not covered by a bookshelf, there will be an electronic board and a marker or chalk board.

    I hope to accumulate at least 200 books for each bookcase before I set this up, and they'll particularly be chosen for their quality. The other books I'll keep possibly on another - separate shelf in another room, or in storage.

    My library is mostly in my computer. There are some books I can't find to buy so I borrow them from library and scan. it takes time but the PDF "search" function is very handy.

    I've had hundreds of books over the years. I donated or sold most of them. The ones, that I now have in my library, take up way too much space. It might be time to pare my collection. I have books on many varied subjects. Each section or shelf contains books about a certain subject. For example, there's a history shelf, and there's a religion shelf, and "zzzz". This might be the most boring post that I've ever written.:yawn:
