I have all of these and a few more, such as Ravenloft Denizens of Dread, Creatures of Rokugan, Deadliest Creatures Tome, Horrors o' the Weird West, and the Bestiary of Loerem. Due to arrive soon is the Bestiary of Krynn...
I can't get enough critters...it's a sickness.

Just one, MM3.5. Don't seem to need anything else. Lots of monsters online, and since I primaily use published adventures, any additional monsters and outlined in them.
(Not counting MM 1.0, Monster Compendium 2.0 + Outsiders + Greyhawk)
Besides, I like character books

"There's always room for critters."
I prefer using the occassional "nasty critter" as a one-shot deal; a lot of fantasy fiction has featured the "lone survivor" or "last pack" of creatures that dwell in isolated or remote locations, and I emulate that a bit. As such, PCs tend to encounter many creatures that have not been seen in ages and now, thanks to the PCs, will likely never be seen again.
As such, I never pass up a monster book if I think even half of the creatures are worth using at least once. Heck, I bought most of Fantasy Flight's and AEG's little "pamphlet modules" just for the critters in them (and some actually turned out to be half-decent adventures to boot!).

I am a monster junkie:
3e/D20 monster books- 3e MM, MM2, Fiend Folio, Monsters o Rokugan, Creature Collection , Creature Collection 2, Tome of Horrors, Tome of Horrors 2, Soveregin Stone Monster book (actual title looses me), Monsternomicon, Dangerous Denziens ,Monsters of Norath, Monsters of the ID, Fiends book from Green Ronin.
pre 3e/d20- Most of the monster appendixes, pretty much all the Monsterous Compendiums. MM,MM2, FF, Creature Collection(or was it catalog?), All the Worlds Monsters, Field guide to Encounters, Monstr manuscript and more.
Considereing other games monster books and internet monster books I've got to have well over 50 books. Throw in non game books on monsters and that number has got to hit 100 or so.

There's no option for '0'. I just use the SRD, but mostly I have human opponents.

As far as d20 is concerned, I've got the MM, Creature collection I and II and the Bane Ledger. I have access to several more however.
I've also got tons of monster books from earlier editions including the many compendiums from 2e, the mystara monsters from 2e (which I've always liked a lot), and many from 1e as well.
