Oh geez - thousands.
When I moved from Vancouver to Toronto last year I had the pleasure of packing them all, so I know that I have way too many. Many are still in boxes, storage, etc.
I go through books like water. I also have a compulsion to buy and read everything of an author or series that I get into. For example, I have 73 Star Wars novels.

You don't know what is bad or good... They are all good.

I should also mention: Bily Wilder: American Film Realist, and a Stanley Kubrick reader, plus a book on dadaism and modern art. A really good one, too."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS (Kurt Vonnegut... borrowed)
THE MASKS OF GOD: OCCIDENTAL MYTHOLOGY (Joseph Campbell)
THE POWER OF MYTH (Joseph Campbell)
THE INNER SECRETS OF OUTER SPACE (Joseph Campbell)
ANDROMEDA STRAIN (Michael Crichton... the only book of his I actually like)
KING RAT (James Clavell)
BOURNE IDENTIY (Robery Ludlum... tasty pulp)
EUROPE: A BRIEF HISTORY (George A. Rothrock)
THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCHOPENAUER
UTILITARIANISM (J.S. Mill)
THE NAZARENE (Sholem Asch)

I've got 25 shelves of books, 23 if we consolidated them all... and I consider our collection to be rather small. Laura and I constantly recycle books as we read them, meaning that we have to get rid of books periodically as they pile up.
My shelves are divided in to 2 sections: Non-fiction and fiction. With a few exceptions, fiction books are alphabetized by author and then by title/series (I'll ignore the title if the book is part of a series - then I'll put it in the series order). My non-fiction shelves are divided into categories (Biography/business/entertainment/history/etc), then within the categories author/title alphabetizing takes over again.Comment

Most of my computer books are in the basement or the other study. There's only so much good that one can draw out of Visual Basic 4 Unleashed.
