Simple: Reading over and over helps me keep the stories in my memory, so that I can pull parts of them out of my head and treasure them. Reading only once or twice makes that very difficult.
And all I have to say is... How could you not read the same story over and over? Don't you want to go back and keep hanging out with the characters? It's like never-ending parties with awesome friends that get more awesome the more you see them.
