I only consider it too many when it becomes a burden. If you're spending a fortune on Zine Quest but struggle to pay your grocery bills that month, maybe it's too many books. If your book shelves are all full and you've run out of space in your home to add additional book shelves, maybe it's too many books.
And of course, i f you yourself feel like the engagement with most of your collection is unsatisfying, then too, maybe it's too many books. It might sound stupid and like a stereotype, but ask yourself "does this book spark joy?" If yes, it's not too much. If no, get rid of it.
Personally I have quite a large collection - about as large as I can go, as I actually reached the point where I'm literally running out of space in my home. But my pile of shame is tiny thanks to me GMing 2-3 game sessions a week, so I'm still getting joy from over 90% of my collection.
