I don't track how many books I read. With fiction, I tend to have periods where I binge read, either series or authors, and then it's one book after another, often followed by a week or two of no fiction reading. I think I read fairly fast, especially on ebook readers as I can change margins and font sizes, but I haven't measured my reading speed. It's not a race for me. I think the more you read, the faster you eventually get at it. Some fiction writing is easier (and faster) to read than other types, too.
Non-fiction is a bit different. I don't binge on those, but read them steadily, depending what subjects I'm currently curious about. I tend to pick and read only one or two books about a topic, usually more comprehensive works, though it really depends on the intensity of my interest. I typically read non-fiction more slowly and for shorter periods to let the material settle on my mind.
Fiction is more like watching a movie, non-fiction like attending a seminar or a workshop.
