This week’s meme:
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?
I usually don’t read the “accompanying documentation” if I can help it. Yawn. I can usually figure things out without the manual. However, I did read the entire manual for my digital camera and went out and purchased a manual for Adobe Photoshop. It’s the exceptions that make the rule, eh? My husband and I cannot assembly to-be-assembled things together. He reads each step in the manual very methodically while I like to jump in and start building.
As I mentioned last week, I don’t read how-to books or self-help guides. I generally loathe the self-help genre. I eschew the section in the bookstore. I spit in its general direction. Of the self-help books I’ve read, most of them could have been whittled down from 250 pages to about 10.
Yes, yes, I read. Mostly, though, I read the fiction. Lots and lots of the fiction.

I regularly do Booking Through Thursday, but the last couple of questions haven’t inspired me.
I almost never read the manual that comes with anything!
