Mind map the book starting with the conclusion then toc. If a book takes more than 4 hours to mind map it's either a good book or poorly organised. The reading speed isn't the constraint. It's placing the knowledge in your knowledge tree without tiring yourself out. Only read the key parts of the knowledge tree slowly in depth. Use A3 paper and a click pencil. Speeds the reading right up. When the books mapped, explain the mind map to someone.
