Define "Bible". Define "own". I personally have my prayerbook I was given for my Bat Mitzvah and my Bible. My partner collects Bibles (he's hoping to eventually own enough to build a fort out of them) and has many... I haven't counted, but we have a Bible shelf on the bookcase that has nothing but Bibles, the Strunk & White, possibly one other thing that was thematically similar, and a few other religious books, such as my prayer book, and a Book of Mormon (which may or may not be on that shelf, it depends on whether or not it fits). The house has more religious books than that, as my other housemate owns a few books that include things like Asimov's Guide to the Bible, he probably has a Koran around somewhere if it hasn't been lost in a move, a Bible or two (he has one of the nifty red-letter ones somewhere, which I think is kind of neat).

So, the house has ~many~. Although most of them are just the standard ones you see in hotels, but in a nice collection of colors. (The eventual fort-building blocks.) But I only have one. I'd actually like a decent translation of the Torah+commentary, but I do not own one.
