My pile is over 800 for fiction alone.
I have this habit of buying the whole series as soon as I've finished
reading the first, or buying as much of a particular author as I can
once I've read one or two that I really liked by him or her. I've been
burned too many times by things going out of print before I want to read
them, and I don't have free access to any public library, and the
non-public library I have free access to is a pain and a half to get to
from here. (And with kids the ages mine are, darn near impossible.)
On the non-fiction, we have an awful lot there that I haven't read,
either, but I'm not sure how many of them I want to read. :) There are
plenty in the "want to read" pile, still.
