Not that many :-)

But then Safari bookshelf (http://safaribooksonline.com) has really cut down the number of books I have in dead tree form. However much I prefer the real thing to read, on-line with searching and lots of browser tabs is very good for answering specific problems.

At least twice as much, but 80% are e-books now (all paid). They just get updated too quickly (MVC1-3 and Silverlight 2-4 release cycle come to mind)

did you read them all? if yes do you have headache?

btw congrats great collection.

Question is, have you all read them - like front to back, or are you just collecting them ? :-D

Best books opens the way a developer thinks and changes rest of the programming game.

Good collection.

Nice collection :)   So there ARE others who collect books

I have six book cases with 4 levels of shelving each, full of only programming books for Windows, SQL Server, .NET, or Design patterns.  It comes to a grand total of 916 books that fit on the shelves.  I have about 40 books stacked in various places on the floor beneath them.  That doesn't include the 30 or so of the absolute best on the topic of VB6 that I keep meaning to get rid of, but I know the day I do I'll need them when I move on to another employer who's still migrating.

But you may have more .NET specific ones than I.  I'll go back and do a full count later.

Did I read them all?  I only bought them because they contained something I needed, but there's tremendous overlap.  I've read very few of them cover to cover.  They they are still viable reference every day.

My Amazon wishlist is 41 pages long.

I stopped mesuring at 504 inches and didn't make it to the basement!!!
