Dictionaries or lexicons. Who reads those from start to finish?

I found another of my kin.

I had a dictionary of etymology that I truly loved. Can't say I'd read it from start to finish like a novel, it's not meant to be used that way, but I did spend time jumping from word to word learning about their histories.

But I'm a writer so I'm one of the few that would genuinely be into that.
