I believe that the trick to reading is practice. As you read more, your brain, like a muscle, will learn to read and interpret faster.
In order to read more, you should pick short books that are very interesting to you. If you find a particluar author that you like, read a bunch of his/her books (like Robert Parker's "Spenser for Hire" detective books or Clive Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" adventure books - as you can see, I like mysteries and adventure fiction!). Then your brain knows a bit what to expect and you can read faster.
Pretty soon, this will translate to your reading in general.
Good luck and keep trying.
