I'll bite.

Yes, but usually only when I am seeking information on some solution to
a problem that I haven't solved before (or haven't solved _recently_).
I don't often have the time to keep up with reading papers on topics
that I'm interested in but not actually working with, though.  I read
lots of blogs that fill a similar niche, but in smaller and more
distributed doses.  At least that way, I know about the other topics
that people are talking about and working with, and remember or bookmark
where to look for more details when I need them.
