It takes a lot of practice to speed read with adequate comprehension. On the whole, I find it takes me 2-3x as long to read a non-fiction with harder to comprehend concepts than it does for me to read a fiction novel. I will occasionally re-read Dawkins' 'The Selfish Gene,' and it still takes me longer, because the science in it is difficult to wrap my head around.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
