Strangely enough, I also have to echo PirateCat.
Last game (D&D) came on the heels of two combat HEAVY games, so it was pretty much all roleplay.
In a typical game, however, I make it a point to try to not need and use any books. The books are for reference before and after the game. They're used to update character sheets, and my scenario notes, and that's it.
I feel that opening a book to look something up in the middle of a game ruins the pace of the game. So I type all my stat blocks into my notes, and make sure my players keep thier sheets current.
But last game, it was all social interaction. Very, very fun.

Nice Thread!
In a pretty complex game we used:
PHB, DMG, MM, all 3.5,
Unearthed Arcana, all the players Gestalt
Fiend Folio
Book of All Spells, which is way better than the PHB for clerics
FRCS, Magic of Faerun, Underdark, Return to ToEE,
BoVD, BoED
Tome and Blood, Song and Silence, Sword and Fist
Faith and Pantheons, Deities and Demigods,
And I think somebody was using a class from Dragon magazine, but I'm not sure the issue.
WTF, all we did was kill a couple of zombies. Our DM must be smoking crack.
