Same. Really good writers can also include system-specific insights that would be a shame to miss.I expect every game I play or run to have differences from every other. I find it worth my while to read the rules before playing. I find it worth my while to read them thoroughly before running. Occasionally some writer will come up with a way of looking at things I haven't previously considered and I am happy to take a couple of hours and read the book to make sure I do not miss such an instance.
Also, I bought the damn thing. Why would I buy a book to not read it?
