I remember reading some of those 2e books even when I did not have to to prepare a game or to read something to get info for a PC. That was mainly because they were well written, had interesting little things that were good to know and alot of non-rule content in them (fluff, as most of you call it). Arms and Equipment, Monstery Mythology or some of the class books were just great books to read. The campaign world supplements for Planescape, GH and Spelljammer were the real diamonds in that respect, pure goodness to read through
With 3e books I am not really interested to pick them up and read them if I do not have to because they are too technical for me to enjoy reading them. They have an awfull lot of usefull rules and content in them but they are really not a pleasure to read through. For me they are dry and boring :\
