I don't normally re-read very much. Not because the plot is already "spoiled", or there's no enjoyment involved (I've enjoyed most of the books I've ever read multiple times), but mostly because I feel my time is better spent finding new books to love. I'm fickle like that, I guess. My best re-reading experiences have always felt inferior to the first-time read-through of books that "wowed" me. So like any good thrill junkie, I spend the vast majority of my time seeking the latter.

And yes, I listen to songs (and less often; watch movies) more than once. But I see no real contradiction in that. Re-listening to music (or re-watching movies) doesn't have nearly the same time/focus/emotional investment attached to it that re-reading novels does (for me anyway). Neither requires my undivided attention (for an extended period of time) the way reading a book usually does.
