I figure most relatively sane people are more likely to read a short story a few times than they are a doorstop.

Are you saying that the fans of the Wheel of Time and Stormlight Archive are not "relatively sane"?

I'm not inherently disagreeing, just asking a clarifying question.

(Oh, but being a fan of Ayn Rand's works probably does make your sanity questionable.)

I was specifically comparing reading "Harrison Bergeron" multiple times with reading Atlas Shrugged multiple times.

I do figure that most people who read a big series don't read all of it multiple times, but there are a couple-three I've a few times, so I'm probably not most people.

I don't know about most, but I do know that it is fairly common for people to reread the Stormlight Archive at least once after finishing all of the books that are currently out (and then again when a new book comes out), just due to the fact that there's so much foreshadowing and hidden details that you wouldn't notice on the first readthrough. And those books are big, all over 1,000 pages.

I did that for a while with King's Dark Tower series.

So no Tolstoy then?

EDIT: TUNA AND WAFFLES??? Okay, that is some next-level nasty.

Okay, here's my best attempt at matching that. Go to about 16 seconds into the clip:

Encase that in aspic and you'd have something pretty close to my grandma's ultimate superfood.

Well, I'd swap out the mushroom soup for tomato, and omit the olives, but blending tuna and waffles doesn't sound all that unappetizing.
