Most of the books that I read like that are new...ones that I have never heard of before and that I want to know what they are about and have a basic knowlege about them without having to being able to quote half of it. Then, if I like the book enough, I will re-read it a bit more slowly, savoring it, you might say. There is to me no reason to spend 2 weeks on a book, only to find out at the end you didn't really like it. But believe me, speed reading works. It might not all be committed to memory, but you know what you need to know. Anyway! This may be a bit off the original subject...ooops! Sorry!
