Could you share your stories/tips about how soon do you finish a fiction/non-fiction book (non-tech). If you do speedread a fiction - can you recall it after a few days?

You Sir! - the voracious reader, I am asking you!<p>Mileage may vary for everyone, but any tips you picked up over the years?

I have of some who read a book every other day - I am not one of them. Sometimes a book takes a week and another one takes couple of months...There's so much to read and so little time.

Any stories/tips?

EDIT:

(thanks to @tokenadult) Speedreading has been discussed earlier (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=419795). That was enough to understand speedreading.

I am interested in tips/learning experiences from your reading/your reading style.
