Interestingly, my husband re reads books on a regular basis. He grew up as a Marine brat and moved every 9 to 18 months, and never had the chance to establish those long term childhood friendships.
I on the other hand, lived in the same very small town until I was 20, still keep in touch with people I have known so long I can't remember not knowing them and I very seldom read a book more than once.
My theory is that books were his stability in the absence of constant enduring companionships. Books were my adventure and escape from a very consistent and unchanging life.
