Whoa, whoa, whoa. When a book is over 500 pages long, I don't care if I've read it 80 times already -- it counts. All books count! I still have to take the time to sit down and read every word just like if it had been the first time I'd read them. Plus, I haven't read those books in years. Yes, I know pretty much everything that happens in them, but the later (bigger) books I don't know as well so there's new-seeming stuff in them too. Plus, if you're going to tell me which ones not to count, the number one book I shouldn't counting is Brokeback Mountain -- that's like 50 pages long, and definitely the most cheaty of all the books on the list.
Also, I'm aware that I'm the weird one here, but I think it's REALLY weird that no one rereads books. How can you possibly remember every detail, enough so that you can't bring yourself to read it all again? Yeah, you know the basic plot, but it's not like you remember every sentence, every conversation... it's like watching a movie over again. And I definitely do that too. Come on, I've read Ender's Game like five times and it's still amazingly awesome. I don't know. It's this strange talent I have, to reread books millions of times and ENJOY IT.
Hmm, didn't mean to write so much/get so defensive. :P I like to read, OKAY? Haha.
