It strikes me as seriously strange not to re-read.

"I really enjoyed that meal" - but I'm never going to eat that food again.
"That was a delightful piece of music" - but I'm never going to listen to it again.
"I had a great night out with that girl" - but I'm never going to see her again.

Why on Earth would you not want to repeat an enjoyable experience? To reason that "the world is full of other books" doesn't make any sense to me. The world is also full of girls (or boys), music, and food, and yet many people get pleasure from repeated encounters with the same one.
