It is quite possible to read 500 books over 100 days as a secluded teenager if one is reading mostly 200-300 page books and most of the books do not require perfect attention to detail.
A proficient reader can easily read 2 pages a minute, so lets say 1200 pages/2=600 minutes, so 10 hours a day. Seems quite doable for a bored teenager without a computer/tablet/phone/outside activity.
I don't think I ever did more than 3 books a day, but still possible to do what OP said.
I think many/most of us has have read a page turner in one late night session.

So the number drops from maybe about 500 words per minute to something less than that. And that still allows some great comprehension.
