All the things you described, I do those. Felt good that there are others like me and I am not a book hoarder. Have guilt tripped myself about that several times. I love snacking on different books in parallel and buy books in bulk, think of it as an investment truly and find solace in their company. I make those little notes of my aha moments. My biggest takeaway from your post is always be reading. Adopting this mantra!
