Yes. The three previous houses I lived in needed reinforcement, since that many books are heavy. My current home is 70 years old, and was built stronger. Even so, I have to spread the books around the house to avoid overloading the floor.

Side benefits are noise reduction across the house, and the thermal mass reduces heating and A/C cost as the house temperature varies less.

Quite possible. My wife and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have 13 full sized book shelves. We read a lot :)
