I like to read novels. Pretty much once I am done with it I don't re-read. If I get a hankering to reread it one day and if I don't have a copy I will re-buy it. But I could only think of maybe at most a dozen books right now that I would maybe do that.
That's about the most functionally illiterate thing I've ever seen.

I'm still re-reading my dad's books that he bought when he was a teenager.
Half of them are now out of print, but still great books.

You CANT rebuy books forever. (Although maybe that's changing with ebooks.)
