I re-read my own stories all the time. Often when I'm in the mood for something specific, I know for sure what story of mine will do the trick. And it's useful for re-reading older stuff and seeing improvements I've made or still need to make.
But I re-read my own stuff more often than I re-read other people's stories - though part of that is I don't always bookmark other stories for later reading. :-)
This makes me feel so much better :) I do the same! Because when you write you tend to write something that you'd want to read but haven't found yet, so you're bound to come back to it!
I suck at bookmarking so so badly so yes I'm using this reason too :)
I find that all too often a story I am loving the heck out of and is hitting my buttons will end up going in a direction other than what I'd have preferred - so that I can enjoy the first half but not the second, or something. Which is still a well-written story, but disappointing because the first part was doing so well with my particular buttons then leaves me unsatisfied. As it were. ;-)
So at least when I write it myself, I can make the story continue hitting my buttons!
