First thing use your finger or a pen to guide your eye, I know it sounds stupid but it really improves your speed.

Second, read words in threes or twos.
It works like this: when you read you take in one word at a time & your brain puts each word into a line to make sence of it. If you read the words in bunches your brain doesnt have to work as hard & your speed will increase.

Third, good light, quiet athmosphere & maybe you havent found the right book!

Also:
There are two techniques that I know of, the first had tips like above, I cant remember any more & theres another one you can get for your pooter that flashes the words of a text file onto the screen, youd be surprised how fast you can read with this method, but I found it a little hard on the eyes. You can vary the speed of the words & the program just spits them up on the screen like a machine gun.

Both are available on Kazaa.

Hope I helped.
