I generally agree, although the one I bolded is more of a universal experience that isn't language-specific. Although one can certainly mention which popular books have good translations or good audiobooks. But in my opinion most non-beginner advice should have the "if... then.." format. or "when I had problem X, I solved it the Y way".
