I'm happy with my reading pace and have no desire to try to make it go faster. I feel so much pressure to do so much in a short time in so many areas of my life, that I am happy to have one area where there is no time pressure.
However, I do read multiple books at a time, and some of those books are ones that I want to take my time in and only read when I know I can take that time. Others are shorter, with simpler plots and threads, and I can read those when I only have a few minutes here and there, without losing track of what I'm reading.
I also listen to audio books, which I think is the single slowest way to read a book, but it forces me to take in every word (something I don't always do on my own) and I like that pace too.
In other words, I don't feel trapped by my reading speed because when I feel bogged down by something long and thoughtful, I switch to something short and fluffy to take a break. If I went any faster, I think I'd forget what I read!
