Do you take notes while/after reading a book?
I suppose that would increase recall, and you could always re-read your notes to remember the most interesting points.

If we take notes, our eyes are away from the text itself, practicing a simple exercise in recall. In a sense, you are "chunking" the concept.
In addition, the commonplace book become your second brain, an accumulation of cues that will trigger the chunks. A semi-permanent digital repository of knowledge that you can tap into on need-basis.
Whizzing through a book without necessary stops for chunking seems to put to question why we read in the first place.
