If you can afford and have space buy a few big book shelves that reach the ceilling and then make it an actual library like in Beauty and The Beast maybe even have a ladder!
My sister and I built floor to ceiling shelves with a rolling ladder in like a day and a half. We used a barn door track and rollers for the ladder and it really wasn't that difficult.
Yeah, maybe if you were a millionaire. In reality most people can't afford this amount of books. The economy is about. Spend Spend Spend. Anything else would hurt the US.
And then you realize that if you wanted to get high quality shelves made of real wood instead of ikea furniture, you're going to be paying thousands of dollars.
Just know that he spent more money than you, and he probably only comprehends 25% of a book because he can't read the book 2 times to get it's full value.
Afraid. Almost all those books are going to end up being in the dump (they are not made of good quality materials). This is pure consumerism. If you have a tablet/phone/laptop is better to exchange social media time for online book reading. Stop damaging the earth just to presume. 🙏🏼
@@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY Me too. At the begging, I bough used books, now I exchanged social media for reading (I do even delete Tik Tok hahaha so I can read more). My University text books are used.

@@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHYso you btch a lot and comfort people about your personal insecurities in other words? There’s a word for that type of person. I don’t like those. Anyway, I’ve found it’s the content that affects the value I get from the book. Doesn’t matter how many times I read it. If it struck a chord, I’ve got it all the first time. If it didn’t, I can read it multiple times and keep forgetting major parts. And I think your funds are your business and you should stop projecting like people don’t know they spent money like obviously it’s intentional lol so pointing it out is not a big deal
Make sure you maintain them really well :”) i was going to make a library and started with a collection of maybe 30 books? and then my house got infested with termites and ofcourse they decided to hide in my books and ruin almost all of them 💔 and so had to say goodbye to the dream
I just recently found your channel and I’ve loved it so far! I love how different your channel is from most book content on CZcams and I like how you recommend classics as well. Subscribed!
I can't wait for the day that you begin to build your physical library to hold all of these books. It's the content that I've just realized I'm waiting for 💞

I had over 2000 books once, before I had to sell most of them when I moved house. Father-in-law built shelves for me. Fiction shelved by author and non-fiction cataloged in a database by the Dewey system. You can take the girl out of the local library staff but you can't take the library out of the girl.
You really just put what 1000 books looks like into perspective for me. Like NOW I understand what my goal and my dream is. And now I’m rethinking how I plan to go about achieving this dream… because I’m gonna need some more space!
Capitalise HOT in hot mess. But seriously I would love to eventually see those books in a beautiful room as a library with a small reading nook and a ladder 🥰
You should open a library point thingy so that people can go in and borrow books, that way they'll be put to use and not read only once and then forgotten
I understand why people want this for sure! I’m not afraid to say I love stuff and collecting stuff haha but with books I mostly read on my phone bc of my disability makes it nearly impossible to hold physical copies of books, so the only physical books I keep are ones I haven’t read yet (probably won’t be able to anyway) and books that are my favorites that I want to see in my space ❤
I'm currently writing my dissertation to become a librarian. Mate. You're stressing me out. In the best way possible, I look at this and I just want to organise it x))
@@zoe127 Nobody's gonna read ulysses in a few days and say that they've comprehended 100% of the text. It's impossible for the human brain to speed read and understand everything to an extent, mostly when it's an actually good book.
@itznix6962 i read the twilight series in a week. It took that long because i had to search online for the books and then went to pick them up 😂 so its possible
Protip for big book collections with lots of series; have a shelf or 2 just for the 1st book in every series, with a post it (or nonadhesive note to preserve the paper) tucked in the first page that says which crate in the attic/under the bed/etc you've stashed the rest! Helps with freeing up space for individual books which you need priority access to, and i usually do it once a series surpasses 3 books, so i have a trilogy shelf, but as soon as the 4th book hits, i upgrade it to this system 😅
I can just imagine how wonderful it would be have a conversation with this man. My grandad has a library and I actually just called him to ask this, he has more than 2000 books. His library is crazy amazing and I love visiting him. I actually just steal books from him bcuz I know he probably has copies of the same books
I easily have 1000 books, but most are from my dad. He moved a couple hours away and I stayed in the house I grew up in. He had also inherited collections from his two brothers, my uncles, one moved to Australia and the other to Florida from NY. I never really realized how many classics and just great writers filled my shelves up until the past few years. I would come back from a book store with some new books and would find copies already existed on one of my many book shelves.
I have about half the books you have and mine aren’t nearly as organized. My car is starting to be my storage for books😂😂😂 It’s such a lovely problem though!
Shelves dear, I mostly use Ikea 'Billy' bookcases, affordable, moveable and able to absorb books by the metre. Additional adjustable shelves to so all those paperbacks can be put on 4 shelves on the bottom rather than 3. Finally you can take them with you if you're renting. NB: I passed the 1000 mark a few years ago and have about 1200 now. Have fun xx
I would put all of the in an excel sheet, to know how many i have, organise them in abc and write down where is find them. No problem with finding what i want anymore
We have just under 800 books at our home and what really bugs me is that I know we have the missing 200 at our cottage. They are two different locations so I don't think it qualifies. It's so close yet so far!
I’m sort of glad it’s a hot mess? Beautiful shelves can come in time. I had to downside a few times to get into different london flats…I still miss those books!!
I've moved house a LOT and one time my mum had to pack our place up by herself and she counted all of our books. We had 3000 books as a family of 3. We're now down to about 500 across two homes. Life is much better now we keep our library in the public library lol!
This is not a problem, this is a dream 🐱
Ikr😭🫶🏾
Btw, what kinda books do you read?
So true
frr
ONG😭🤍
Who else is about to go count their books? 😍📚📖📚
You need to build a small library room unless you are renting but this is a good problem to have 😂
He's slow travelling so yeah he's renting

same
it's a vibe
If you ever organize them, that would SO be a video I would watch over and over
I don’t see a problem! 🥰
The problem is that those books are living a hard live, lol. They need good shelves.
Now what we need is a video organizing it, so happy for you!! ❤️

‘1000 books?’ me gets up to start counting my books
I'm over 700 last time I counted

I feel this on a soul level 😂 I have a trolley, bookshelves and boxes galore
