I guess it depends on how complicated you want to get by addng more flash units, setting up commander mode etc. My SB80-DX has a 105 page manual and I probably found only 10 of those pages relavent to what I do.
For casual snaps I set it in iTTL and fire away. It and the camera do the exposure thinking, and for anything else, it is set to manual. I'd probably fry my brain if I actually read the book.

All the current Nikon cameras use iTTL which is pretty foolproof. So probably only 5 pages of the book need reading to cover that before starting to use it.
