Home LIbraries - who owns one

@njgal

I don’t have a seperate room in my house to dedicate just to books so my home office serves as library. I have comfy rocking chair and a papasan to read. It’s great.

My library consists of Great authors - european history and tons of American literature.
cookbooks, trashy romance novels from my teens. It also has playbills, movie stubs, old letters.

I wish I would have brought my books from Pakistan. My parents had such a great Urdu collection. When my grandfather sold his house, the books went with them

NO WAY!!
they gave the books away?!

i belive most of us own a few books. i am a big believer of print media. prized collection in my lib is a hand written Heer Ranjha by Warish Shah around 1850s. not to mention all issues of Architectural Digest since December 2000.

Other than the dry subjects, I have a massive collection of Imran series and all published novels of Devta (by MuhaeeDin Nawab).

topics of interest: World History, Poetry, Law, Business, Natural History, Urdu Literature (all sorts), and selected biographies.

yeah. science fiction is there as well. Asimov and such.

Wow

I am impressed

" one who lends a book is a stupid, and one who returns is even more"

I totally agree! Hehe! :)

We’ve a huuuuge library at home.
Unfortunately, the vast majority are in Urdu. :hinna:

The English collection -

we have Sherlock Holmes, a lot of Agatha Christie <3, a number of Douglas Adams, Tolkien, some Rowling, and random YA books. Plus some classics from when I was majoring in English (The Odyssey, Dora, The White Hotel, Mrs. Dalloway, anthology of brit lit, etc.)

We have a big collection of books on almost every topic. My guess is we have over 10K books in our house. In fact one guppy has visited my library too. :)
