Only finished Cryptonomicon and this seems like the right spot for it.

You think it is worth reading more than once?

it's a lot... but the whole saga is really good. IMO the baroque cycle is the best, and it's all in the same universe as cryptonomicon, fall, and reamde, so there is some real depth to re-reading it with the other books as context so it's a giant time investment. but in the winter it's a great timesink
