I like reading but the problem is it takes me so fucking long

Try reading in the morning when there are fewer distractions in your mind. That helps me focus, and less distraction = faster, smoother reading. If you can't read in the morning for whatever reason, you could also try meditating for a bit beforehand.

read higher quality material and savor the writing, hold it in your mouth as though you had fetched up a fine bite of white cheese macaroni or a sip of 20 dollar/bottle wine

Slow reading is okay. Accept how you are. My mother reads incredibly fast, just like my girlfriend. I'm quite slow. But i read every word, because i want to get the most out of what i'm reading.
It just depends what you set your sight on. You can start flying over texts, like reading only the big words, and you'll normally get the whole thought as well. It takes some training, but in like 2-3 days you should notice yourself getting much better at it.
I don't like reading like that, because i like reading every word and getting the most out of the book im reading.
