It depends on the quality and the satisfaction I get from the book.
I didn't find Battlefield Earth too long either, but it wasn't worth a re-read a year later. Too long for too little satisfaction.
I'm finding the same thing with the George R.R. Martin books. I read the first one - A Game of Thrones - and I enjoyed it, but it left me unsatisified at the end. So I'm having trouble getting enough motivation to start the second one. I know that once I start reading it, I'll enjoy it, but the idea that I'm going to spend alot of time reading it only to be unsatisfied at the end (according to what people who have finished it said), leaves me cold.
