I have a friend who is against rereading. She is a full-time consumer of content...books, movies, TV shows. She neither rereads nor rewatches, except for rewatching the occasional movie. Once she consumes something, she relegates it to a kind of "been there, done that" part of her brain where many things she consumes get lost.
I've never explored this deeply with her, and I'm not sure whether her attitude is one of "gotta catch 'em all", a continual requirement for novelty, or if she simply never, ever considers anything worth reading/watching again (with a few exceptions). She simply doesn't understand why I occasionally want to watch or read something I enjoyed hugely in the past, or don't think I got quite enough out of the first time. To her, my habits are a waste of time.
