I had a whole wall of books in the past, but in my last move I decided to put up large paintings on the walls and only have two bookcases which cannot fit all my books, so the rest are in boxes in the closet.
Wbu? I’m looking forward to having a big house for my next move to display all of them. Each book is a special memory to me.

just one bookshelf (1.5m x 1.5m I guess). I am going to focus on re-reading the same books from now on
I read lots but I try never to keep books. If I want to reread something, I just buy a new copy.
I am just not into books as furniture.
Fair enough. They do get in the way, especially those where you know you will never re-read
I have a few mini shelves but would definitely like to have a nice room to spend a few hours reading every day.
Have a few shelves full of books as I was reading a ton as in younger years. Nowadays don’t have that much time anymore but I always enjoy seeing it and the smell of older books when you open them.
I have some on my iPad. Was thinking of getting a tablet for reading though
I’m not a fan of tablet reading unless I’m traveling light on a long trip.
I underline and highlight my books and can remember the notes and like pulling them off the shelf and remembering exactly where I have made notes.
Have a small bookcase that’s part of a large desk. There are 20 or so books.
Functionally, having physical books in a readily visible bookcase serve as reminders for learning and can reorient you or even inspire you. They are not for anyone else but they can also foster conversation.
I also take notes in physical books and jot take-aways and learnings from ebooks. On this front, this is where I think having a digital interface is superior. It’s way easier to reference insights digitally.
I have about three shelves of books now as I'm getting back into reading. I like physical copies and plan on keeping most if not all the books I read. Would be nice to have a reading/library room at some point.
Growing up, I’d often go into a library after school for 3-4 hours to focus on doing homework and I’d often allocate 1-2 hours to read as well. I’ve probably read dozens of books each year as a child there, now I have much less time because of work.
You have terrible reading comprehension.
Working on it! Trying to only buy books once I've read what I bought last time because I don't want to be the person who has a ton of books but hasn't read any of them. Mix of fiction & non-fiction, old and new. Big fan of grabbing a coffee on a walk and checking out a bookstore, see if something catches my eye.
Don't have a traditional "bookshelf", just have them all over the place which I kinda prefer. Not looking to start a library with a filing system
I’d like to dedicate a room in my home toward reading. I’d try to have at least several shelves full of books and spend the day reading through them while smoking out of a pipe
Same - but bong hits for me.
I used to, but I've started checking out books from the library instead. I'll buy the book if I really like it.
Yeah, in my kindle. You can find everything on libgen.
Learned about that site today, it looks so outdated, how do people even use it
There's a reason it looks like that, we have to keep it under wraps lol. Frankly idek there seems to be a quite a lot of people who don't know it
I just have a phone and headphones.
I have a few shelves where I have some books I’m reading or want to read.
I also have a Kindle but realizing I prefer the physical books as it’s easier to make notes and such
Y’all serious? I just listen to podcasts and watch movies
90s baby, right?
