I've met people who read RPG books cover to cover. I simply can't: I always eventually get tremendously bored.
I read what I need to so I can learn to play, and use it as reference later.
I can't even say its that, since I read plenty of rulebooks I'll likely never play. Sometimes I end up reading them in pretty good detail over time, too (Eclipse Phase or Sabre Fantasy come to mind here) but just chonking through in a row just often is a poor way for me to absorb them. But then, again, I also suspect strongly I'm ADHD, so...
