[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5044460, member: 19675"] Your family, like mine, is far and away the exception. One of my best friend's father was an English major. He had a lot of books on a wide variety of stuff. My buddy? Fantasy & a few other topics,+ gaming books. His wife didn't bring any to the marriage. And when I go to my friends houses, the story varies only in details. In most houses, the bookshelves hold more knick-nacks than books, and for some, more computer games than either. Personally, I have more books than my 6 closest cousins, their parents, and my mom's cousins...[I]combined.[/I] (Then again, I have what could loosely be called a library.) My parents, OTOH, each have book collections measured in the hundreds. My Dad's would be much larger, but he went the "borrowing" route before I was born, so rarely buys books anymore. [/QUOTE]
