"too many" compared to what? :-D
I don't know what I would do without my books. I love curling up on a cold snowy day - on the couch - under a quilt - with a cup of hot tea with honey - just "looking" through a real quilt book or perhaps a dozen. Looking for inspiration, color combinations, which borders were chosen, ways stripes are used, studying blocks, reading about quilters personal journeys - it goes on and on.
However, I am quickly approaching my available shelf space limit for books. This winter, some of my books will be moving on, just not my quilt books.
