How many times have you started a book intending to get a final, decisive reading of it? Only to be completely reorganized by someone else's view or a re-reading the following week. Now naturally, this leads to the upshot that you can have so many renewed readings of a book that your understanding of it grows exceedingly apt, however I fear the reality is far more horizontal.

Zero.

Even if it were possible to get some sort of objective crystalline reading of a book (it's not), your memory doesn't work that way and will remold what you read over time as the information is congealed and repositioned across the semantic and episodic memories. Even "lightbulb memory" moments like 9/11 or the Challenger disaster have been studied over time and people will just remake the story of where they were and what happened over time, while being fairly convinced their memory is an exact recollection.
