If I am INTERESTED in the topic of study, I read the text. 

If I know that there will be a quiz or I will in some way be held accountable for the reading, I read the text. 

If I think the instructor is definitely going to REFER to the reading, I read the text.

I read the text right before a TEST, but not necessarily before the class where the text will be discussed.

I read the text at the beginning of the semester, but don't usually read much after that.

I have bought textbooks and returned them within a week of the first day of class because we didn't use them.
