Style makes a big difference in reading text. Stylistically you can plow quickly through an NIV Bible precisely because they had stylists go over it to make it read very smoothly. Compare that version to the NRSV Bible.
Louis L'Amour writes in a very simple style that I can read quickly. The other side of the coin is that more difficult books like the KJV Bible or a work like Moby Dick can be rewarding and memorable even when more difficult to read and understand, sometimes the struggle makes us better readers and rewards us for the effort.
