Because what you read affects your enjoyment of other things or other books. For exemple in a long series I sometimes re-read all the books in the series to be able to enjoy the last book properly. I want to have a guarante that it is possible to do that before I start to read the series.
I also for pleasure discus books with friends and then you sometimes need to go back to a book and look up things.
And in the same way that you have had an extremely good meal att a restaurant that you later want to have again in the same way you sometimes want to repeat the experience of reading a specific book.
I really do not read books in a way that a comparision with eating pizza is relevant.
