200 Books Per Household
25 Answers
How many books do you have?
I was fascinated to read recently that the average number of books per household is 200.
I think I have about 150, but got rid of at least another 150 when we moved down from London to a smaller house.
If that figure is true there must be huge numbers of people who don't own a single book. Can this be true?

In the interests of finding some space to actually live I have given away around 40 boxes of books...I have not tackled the tea chests in the attic yet but still have several book cases full of books and am reading new books but unless they are particularly ones I want to keep am giving them to a chap with a market stall that sells second hand books....certainly I still have 1000 or more. I have never not owned loads of books!
There was a thread on this recently. I gave away about 1,000 books when moving in and from France over a few years. I have about 600 books left (number is increasing!) but on top of that I have several hundred on a Kindle and another reading device. Then there are the ones I borrow from the Library..............
^^^ Appropos. I have spent the last academic term acting as a reading mentor in a local academy (voluntary, but I got a nice bunch of flowers). My 7 pupils all did very well and the 'star' put on 2.5 years R.A. in 3 months. I bought them all books as an end of term present and encouragement to read through the holidays. 5 were 'gobsmacked' (to put it inelegantly) as no other books were present in their homes! ...............and they wonder why literacy is so low!
I live 5 minutes away from here so I don't need to keep books. I go in every month or so and come away with a shopping bag full, then go back and exchange them.
