I get the author's point that sometimes the right book at the right time can have an outsized impact and to reread it years later might dull the memory. In that case I get not rereading it.
But great books are rereadable in part because you can go back to it at different ages and get something new out of it each time. For me _Walden_, _Self-Reliance_, and _The Republic_---to name a few---do just that.
