Not sure I completely agree with that. It depends on the book and the reader. For most of my life every day has been a school day. I don't tend to reread fiction but there have certainly been books I've returned to.
We read Shakespeare when I was at school, coming back to it as an adult was not the same. At another extreme 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' was a different book the second time around.
