I can still do the fugue state devouring-of-doorstoppers for things where the plot moves fast and the style isn't too ornate. If I have to read very effortfully from paragraph to paragraph, I'm slower. I got Alan Moore's *Jerusalem* trilogy as a birthday present, and I'm making my way through that, but not as fast as I could have as a teenager... gaps of weeks between picking one up sometimes.
