    Any of the classic RFCs. I really like the way RFCs are written.

    Also, they’re extremely verbose, but the Intel x86 processor manuals are fascinating

    I like writing documentation for processes at work. I always aim it at the “I’m familiar with the tools but haven’t done this before” person. I always include examples of the actual commands because it is one thing to describe a command but when you see it it makes FAR more sense.

    Like the picture in the post, furniture assembly. I enjoy assembling simple furniture (couches, chairs, storage, etc.) and trying to figure out the documentation, especially if it’s made in china with inaccurate instructions, missing or unlisted parts, and the entire thing not in english.
