Importance of reading comprehension and speed

I have noticed that now since being well beyond my years of being forced to read a piece of classical literature or history for classes, my understanding of complex pieces of literature does not seem to be up to snub any longer. I want to be able to quickly be able to read through work related pieces once and have clear understanding very quickly. Has anyone found a way to best practice this? Going back to reading pieces of classical literature, just more reading in general, reading more finance related books, etc..?

So on that note, what have you all found the most enjoyable and effective method to practicing this skill?
