You may want to try some different authors with different writing styles and see if some of them go faster for you.
If you are reading on an ereader or tablet (as opposed to a paper book), you might experiment with changing the font size, contrast, color, etc.
Also, if you're just reading for fun, remember that you don't have to read every single word - you're not being tested on it! For me, long descriptive passages go more slowly than conversation or action. If I enjoy the writer's style, I will take the time to read it all. However, if I'm not enjoying the author's scenery descriptions and they aren't essential to following the plot, I skim over them.
