I also despise the reading and my time management is awful ... anyway I suggest that you do all the reading passages of all the TOEFL books you can access, because at the end you need to master the TOEFL-style reading. Also work on vocabulary, a significant part of the reading questions are about meaning of vocabulary. So, knowing a wide range of vocabulary would certainly help you to improve your score.

How was your performance on the other sections?

hi, I would say read, read and read. Especially read scientific stuff like "science" etc. They have a lot of short articles-read several of them a day and you will improve your reading and understanding :-) I had similar problem a month ago-my results were like 18-20 points.
I also took an exam on 20th june. I had 27 from reading passage. It worked for me. Good luck.
