Reading books more than once?

Do you guys read books more than once? If so, how do you go about it each time?

Myself, the first time I go through everything pretty quickly and mentally jot down the main themes/ideas. Now that I have a big picture understanding of what's important, the second time around I take notes on these main themes/ideas as well as some of the important details.

What are your guys' thoughts on this? Should you read something more than once to truly get a lot out of it?
