I mean, no matter how much I like the book, I can't read the same book even twice.

I think it totally depends on how your brain works. I also think that those who read the same FAVORITE books over and over can't understand why someone wouldn't do so.
My sister rereads books she's read in the past about 80% of the time. My Mom never rereads. The funny thing about it is that they are opposite for watching movies or TV shows. My sister never rewatches while my Mom is happy revisiting favorites, even long series she's seen several times.
I would fall into the reread group. However, there are only a handful of books I've read more than twice.
One advantage, of course, of not wanting to reread is that you have no reason to keep the book, so decluttering is automatic. That's why we didn't have a lot of books (other than kid's books - there were 6 of us) at home was because as soon as Mom read a book, out it went. My Dad wasn't much into novels until he retired.
