When reading a standard size pbook I tend to average around 30 pages an hour, which is kind on par with you. BUT, when I read every word and really enjoy the novel I am reading. I am never in a rush to read a novel as quickly as possible.
Come to study though (back when at uni and now CPA) I tend to read the first sentence of a paragraph for the chapter/section, then go back and re-read but in its entirety. That way I find I can skim over the material quicker and my comprehension is better for dry material.
My wife will read dialogue word for word but skims over other paragraphs as she feels it is more filler and for her she finds it doesn't enhance or detract from her interpretation of the story. Using her process I guess I could have got through the entire Wheel of Time series in an hour or two
