Absolutely. Oddly, and I am most certainly not a fan of Michael Gove, it does seem as if part of what he said was that the current system which encourages teachers to only concentrate on small sections of books was wrong, and the pupils should read the whole books...
You're right about it all being a matter of taste, too; I love Austen but don't really like any of the Bronte sisters' works enough to read them again from choice :)
