I used to have a large collection of sci-fi, mostly paperbacks but some hardcovers. Plus a large number of non-fiction books on a variety of topics (e.g., investing, gardening, sailing, skiing, wine). Not to mention my obligatory collection of O'Reillys. Totalled perhaps 1500 to 2000 books at its max.

I got tired needing bookshelves everywhere, and liquidated most of my collection in a big garage sale. That was a really fun, like a day-long bookclub meeting. All I have left are my favorites and, ironically, the ones nobody wanted to buy. Maybe a few shelves worth.
