Just seems a bit boring to me as I rarely re-read a book.
Re-reading a story seems boring if you only read it to discover the ending. For me its the journey, reconnecting with "old friends" and the comfort of knowing a familiar "face". Besides, more times then not I discover little details and insights I may have missed before. my 2 cents.
