If the book is a fiction nothing can be done to read it quickly. You have to read it from the very beginning to the end so that you can fully enjoy the drama and thrills involved.
A non-fiction book can be read quickly.The backside, "About the Author", Preface and Content will give you an idea about its usability. If it is really useful then try to find the chapters which may give you the answers you are searching for. Once you get these chapters start reading from the last para to the first para. That means first read the last para which will generate some quesries in the mind and to find the answers you will automatically read the next para and so on upto the first one when all your query may get answered.
The backside reading can reduce your time of reading a book to nearly half due to the inquisitiveness imbibed in you by the last para and to know the answers you try to search the previous para and then some more queries will be generated and in searching this increasing the number of queries you will read the entire chapter without noticing the time consumed.
In case of research papers the abstract and conclusion is first read.After going through these paras you will understand whether this paper is necessarry for your research or not.If the answer is yes then again follow the backside rule to read the Methodology and Result and Discussion section which is enough to extract relevant information from a research paper.
In newspaper reading first few lines of any report will generate interest to it and then again follow the backside rule so that whole news can be read within few minutes.For featured articles read the highlighted points and first para to exduce interest and then again follow the backside rule.
