Pretty much all true. Especially relevant is #6 as I am currently reading FIVE books. But don't worry, two are non fiction and one is a book of short stories. And yes, I did start #6 but finished one of the others first.
Actually, re #1: when we moved across the street in 1976 the actual move took no time at all. It was lugging the books down three flights, across the street and up three flights that took the time.
By the time we moved here ten years later we had the room full of huge bookcases (the poor movers had to walk them up six flights as they were too big for the elevator - but since they got stoned on the way here they didn't mind) and thousands of books. It took more time to carefully pack them up and label the boxes than the entire rest of the move.

#14 is definitely Andy J, although he preferred dumpsters, as I recall.
#17: I underline in textbooks only.
