Who else reads manuals?

I have always had a great interest in how things work. From the time I was a little kid I yearned to understand "why" and "how".
As we are now just months away from the new boat, I am beginning to read every manual I can find for equipment used in our boat. From drivetrain to electronics I am collecting manuals and reading them.
Often, this answers questions I have regarding setup and use of the gear. Even if I forget much of what I read between now and the day we step aboard, I will remember having seen it and know where to look for it.
I just finished reading (skimming?) the Magnum inverter charger manual, the Magnum remote manual and the Magnum battery monitor manual this morning.
Now I understand how the system is designed and I will know what to look for in terms of set-up when we take delivery. The manuals are all saved to my reading lists so that I can get to them quickly if I need...
Am I the only one who does this?
