Doing it for professional reasons aside, I do get why reading something (good/deep) for 100x might be very interesting.

If you repeat the same word lot's of times, it starts to loose meaning to you after saying it 20x or 30 times. Then you keep going and it comes back. But it's different. Maybe like... "a Rose is a Rose is a Rose...".

In literature, repeating things definitely gives it a different meaning.

And then there are books/texts that are very dense. Like Wittgenstein's Tractatus.. that one you'll read a 100x if you want to understand it.
