What's a big home library? What would you consider a good number of books to have at ages 20, 30 and later?

>> No.14929336 [DELETED] 

>>14929300
30-60 books you really enjoy and would like to read again.

Bookshelves of 100/200+ books just doesn’t seem real nowadays. Not with my generation, the one before mine and the one after mine. No one I personally knew read books beyond what you HAD to in school. And they all loathed it. Fuck, people’s reading skills are terrible nowadays. If your class ever “popcorn read” you know what I’m talking about. There is the occasional social reject that read manga but no one else read for leisure. Big city life...maybe it’s different for more rural areas...but that’s optimistic. Not saying book nerds don’t exist but it’s very rare it seems. No one has the attention span for it. Not with instant medias. My grandfather was the only person I knew with a full wall of books, from floor to ceiling. And I knew he read every single one
