How many music books do you have?

I was looking around, and I suddenly noticed that I have what I would consider quite a lot of books about music theory and technique. They're not all for one instrument, in fairness. I have:

Progressive Electric Guitar ("borrowed" off a friend)
A beginners' keyboard book
Rock bass grades 5 and 8
Idiot's Guide to Piano
Bass Basics
The Real Book
Stanley Clarke tab book
Victor Woote tab book
Hanon for piano
Building A Jazz Vocabulary
101 Bass Tips
Serious Electric Bass
JS. Bach for Bass
Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar

That's 15 books in all, at a conserative £10 each, that's £150 I've spent. Jesus.

Is everyone else as bad as me, or am I just obsessed with buying theory books?

I have several, as well. The Bass Grimoire is the only specific title I can recall, but there are at least a dozen others, all bass-related. How many have I READ or actually STUDY...
