    I've got:

    The Redwall Series:
    (not in order)
    Martin the Warrior
    Lord Brocktree
    Mossflower
    Salamandastron
    Legend of Luke
    Outcast of Redwall
    Redwall
    Mattimeo
    Muriel of Redwall
    The Pearls of Lutra
    The Long Patrol
    Marlfox
    The Taggerung

    Mercedes Lackey:
    The Black Gryphon
    The White Gryphon
    The Silver Gryphon

    The Hobbit + Lord of the Rings

    The Indian in the Cupboard (and all 4 sequels)

    M:tG books:
    The Brothers War
    Planeswalker
    Time Streams
    Bloodlines
    The Gathering Dark
    Rath and Storm
    Mercadian Masques
    Nemesis (missing)
    Prophecy
    Invasion
    Planeshift

    There're others, but most are packed away without easy viewing access. And I'm too lazy to go hunt them down. :p

    Also, please only post once. You can edit in anything you've forgotten.

    I have 100s of books, Ive been collecting them as long as I remember, but my oldest ones are stuff like Paddington books, Narnia Chronicles box and other kids fantasy. I havent kept any really baby stuff.

    Most of what I've got is sci-fi. I have everything by Iain M Banks, most of Robert Heinlein, Philip K D1ck (ridiculous this board won't let me write a normal name like that, btw) um.. a lot of Stephen King, His Dark Materials big fat hard cover in one volume, the Nightingale Floor trilogy, Tad Williams books. Too many to list.

    Ive got so much I need to sell some to a s/h book shop or something. They can have the 1st Harry Potter book (only one I bought) , for a start and an Artemis Fowl book that was so stupid I couldn't finish it ^_~

    I don't usually buy books that much anymore, unless they're really cheap (i got 'flight of the doves' for 20p :D ) because i read them too quickly.
    All my family loves books though, and with 4 Avid readers in the house that equals a lot of books. Getting on for at least 1000 :p
    I could lose myself in stories forever.

    I'm a rabid bibliophile and I've been actively building my book collection for the past 17 years or so. This results in a lot of books, and I still haven't catalogued everything yet. Actually, most of my collection remains uncatologued....

    However, if I had to make a rough estimate, I think I have between 1000 and 1200 books in my collection (and the collection keeps growing). Once I get the cataloguing done I'll be able to post a link to a list (probably in text file format). Posting the full list in the thread would just be insane.

    To many to count. And way to many to name off. Let's just say I got a 25 gallon (I think that is the right size) tupperware bucket full and some on shelves. Unfortinately it is to heavy to lift without three people. I am not kidding here.

    Out of series. Harry Potter books some even with two copies. Loads of Nancy Drew books and some with her and the Hardy Boys, Sweet Valley High and University, R.L. Stine books including a large number of goosebumps, Christorpher Pike Books, Animorph Books, a series that was like goosebumps (Bonechillers maybe), poetry books, and many others that I am to lazy to read off or think of. I loved to read when I was younger. I would by a 3 or more books a week. But not anymore I got way to busy.
