When reading fiction a lot of the pleasure is in savouring the language and noticing details as the plot unwinds. I can speed read and sometimes resort to it if I have a book to review, but when reading for pleasure I take as long as the book deserves.
As for non-fiction, a wise person once pointed out to me that the first sentence of each paragraph tells you what that part is about. Hence, it's easy to skim NF for relevant information.
