I'm a relatively fast reader, but I don't think that's the only reason I re-read. The second time through, I can note the way the author has set up things I already know about from the first read. I appreciate more of the craft on later re-reads.
Plus, as Dennis says, sometimes I just want that "comfortable old shoe" feeling.
