Yes, I think they are both good rules, although I suppose the one about repeats of books which were read a great many years ago (say more than five years ago) could be worth reconsidering. The change in the membership over the years of the two Clubs would mean that only a very small number of members might have been involved in that first reading.
However, there are so many good books out there, we can probably avoid repeats of books read previously.
