    The only way you could actually do this is to loosen up your definition of “reading” wide enough that it becomes meaningless.

    I read Gravity’s Rainbow a long time ago. I had to take notes to keep track of what was happening.

    At some point you trade speed for comprehension. Other comrades have given sincere (and thoughtful!) answers to OP’s question. I’m giving wrong answers. There is an upper limit to how much information one can meaningfully assimilate in any given amount of time and if you’re breezing through dense prose you’re probably missing something in the process.
