The NYTimes wrote a post about how many books it takes to make a place feel like home. According to Mr. Bryers, a computer systems architect, it takes around 1,000 books to feel like a library. But if you don’t have the space available, 200 to 400 books can suffice. Book lovers also tend to “wrap” their books around themselves so they are surrounded by the books they love.
