BTT - Manual Labor Redux

This week's Booking Through Thursday question is:

Following up last week’s question about reading writing/grammar guides, this week, we’re expanding the question….

Scenario: You’ve just bought some complicated gadget home . . . do you read the accompanying documentation? Or not?
Do you ever read manuals?
How-to books?
Self-help guides?
Anything at all?

Definitely. I have to read the manual! But it's so much easier to have my husband read it and explain it to me. Terrible, but true. He makes it easier to understand.

I'm not really into reading self help books, but, hey, you never know...
