Whats the most amount of books that you've had checked out?

What is the most amount of books that you have ever had checked out from the library at one time. I think that I'm at my highest since I was like 6, but it probably isnt a lot for most people.

I have 5 books and 1 dvd out right now, not including the 2 that my bf took out on the card. The books that I have, and the order that I'm going to read them are:

Emperors and idiots : the hundred year rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox, from the very beginning to the end of the curse by Mike Vaccaro

"Say it ain't so, Joe." by Thomas L. Stix

The greatest game : the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the playoff of '78 by Richard Bradley

Now I can die in peace : how ESPN's Sports Guy found salvation, with a little help from Nomar, Pedro, Shawshank and the 2004 Red Sox by Bill Simmons

Atlas shrugged by Ayn Rand

I'm probably going to have to renew the books a ton of times, but i should have time to read them all during spring vacation from school.

Y'know, I *had* a library card once, and don't remember if I ever checked out any books or not. I dunno, the library and me don't mix very well... >.<;

I think 5 (it was the max allowed in my library) - all are psych textbooks for my class.

I don't go to the library much anymore, but when I buy books, it's usually no less than 10. Saves me a trip to the store for a while.

I don't know what I would do without the library. I check out children's books all the time. I don't look forward to going to bed if I don't have a good book to read.

The only library I checked books out of was my highschool library. It was a max of 2 books at once, so that's the most I ever checked out. However, at the thrift store beside me, there's always cheap books. 50 cent books. I bought 20 books at once, one time. I used to go in every week and buy up like 5 - 10 books. I have like 50 books that I haven't read. It's kinda funny. Been working my way through them though. S'all good.

amirite, or amirite?

Six or seven books, I think. I would usually only check out that many when doing some kind of research, though.

I don't think I've ever checked out more than two boos at a time. I never saw the point in checking out seven books I might not finish reading.
