in addition, it's not just about re-reading a book. under cases where the book is used for research, especially a non-fiction reference manual, you would want to keep it around for future use. imagine a dictionary. even if someone is industrious enough to read everything cover to cover, that person is not likely to toss it away. even after reading everything, you are not likely to remember everything. another similar case is a book of poetry. read it and toss it? not likely.
