When you speed read, you do absorb the material better.

How to learn:

Grab a metronome, and a novel with fairly simple language. I learned with Animal Farm.
Set the metronome fairly slow, and start reading, tracing the lines with your finger.
Complete one line per metronome tick. It doesn't matter if you don't catch much of what you're reading, that will come.
If you think you're starting to understand, up the speed.

It's incredible how quickly your reading speed will improve. After one weekend's drilling, I was reading at about 4 times my old speed, and comprehending better to boot
