I indeed have a faster reading speed. I intentionally switched to English for reading (not my native language) to slow down the reading speed.
But I rarely read novellas or plays - I prefer proper books. When I was a kid, of course I read childrens books which were absolute quickies. But I did not include them in my count.
I can easily read The Lord of the Rings between lunch and dinner, and still enjoy Tolkiens play with languages, or tell you where to find a specific scene.
I encourage you to read more novellas! Some really great writing is in them. For example One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Metamorphosis, Animal Farm, I Am Legend, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, Ah Q, Heart of Darkness, A Clockwork Orange, The Third Man, and many many non-famous ones, like ZOMBIE by Joyce Carol Oates.

You are very very fast!

I’ve already read more than half of those.
