Actually, I don't use a data base for anything, so it would take even

and of historical mysteries read/owned because they began more recently,
the latter with a list I found on the web. The sf/fantasy collection
goes back to well before the invention of home computers--to the 1950's.

Roughly one per cent of my library is duplicate titles.
It was worst than that before I started trying to record what I have.

I found a couple of those when I was alphabetizing, but mostly bought by
a sister. I did buy one a while back that combined 2 I owned under a
different title ^&(&*()&*(^(computer swearing at publishers), but it had
been a long time since I read them and took it along to read on a trip
and discarded it somewhere, something that is normally totally
impossible for me.
