Something Kurt said really resonated with me, I too am a slow reader and agonize about the decision to reread or new-read. I've enjoyed rereading books from middle and high school: Catcher in the Rye; Their Eyes Were Watching God, Sula. To this extent Anne Fadiman's father was abosolutey correct, the rereads revealed more about who I was at each reading than any nuance in the text. Also rereading books from my youth has the added benefit of being short-ish and relatively easy reads, which adds to the pleasure of reading from the perspective of a slow reader and a graduate student.
