Install an RSVP program and crank it up to 1000 words per minute. Let's see how long you can follow the story without loosing the place in a book. You blink and pffffft ... ;-)
RSVP stands for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation.
It quickly flashes fragments of text (a long word or a group of words) on screen. This way you can read really, really quickly. Just start a program and slowly crank up the length of the text fragment and frequency.
There is even plugin for Firefox.
The system was originally developed for small screens, like mobile phones.
