Read fiction and non-fiction.

I give all my books the 50 page rule. If the book doesn't grab me in the first 50 pages I'm done,move to the next.

Also use the accelerated reading method. Not speed reading just efficient reading.

Using this method actually increases comprehension and speed by calibrating your eye motion with your brain. The brain can receive information faster than your eye can give it. As with many skills takes practice and everyone's mileage will vary.

And no I'm not one of those hand skimmers who claim to read a 1000 page book in 30 minutes.
