C. S. Lewis wrote something about the difference between those who do and don't reread literature. People who do reread (whom he called "literary") do it for the appreciation of the prose itself, rather like re-listening to a piece of music (my analogy). Nobody is going to argue that you shouldn't re-listen to music.
