That's such a funny question. I can only think of a handful of books that I didn't read cover to cover.
The last one I didn't "read" to the end was the audio version of Scott Adams's book "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel." And even then, it was because I didn't like the narrator.
I seldom start a book unless I know that I'll finish it. Life is too short to waste time on books I don't like. I can only read about 50 books a year.
Reading "cover to cover" makes it sound like a chore.
I read for pure delight, whether I'm expanding my knowledge with non-fiction, extending my imagination with fantasy, or just tickling my funnybone.
My problem is that I frequently rush a really good book to get to the end and see what happens, but then I'm sad because I have to leave that world behind.

I tend to be reading 4 to 8 books at a time--in the middle of one, starting another--it's unconventional, but I've spoken with scores of people who have my numbers dwarfed, so...
Oh, yes, to answer: Actually, it's a re-read--does it still count?
Good. Just wrapped-up "Status Anxiety," by Alain de Botton.
Re-reads are like sumptuous leftovers, only the order somehow is always fresh, no?
