A short YouTube interview (part of 'Books That Changed My Life' series) where Chris Collins talks with Sophie Newman about the emotional and personal significance of books. In this excerpt they discuss how receiving a deceased father's favorite book can offer insight into his character, and Sophie reflects on her early reading habits (she says she had read “hundreds” of books, including short books, by her teens).

Your father passes away, and then somebody brings you your father's favorite book. Yeah, it's more than.
Your father's favorite book because it's your inside and your father's escape.
100%. Yeah. Books are so personal to all of us, which is why we're here. And so I think, you know, it was kind of a way to get some insight into his character. Really?
How many books had you read up until then?
Oh, gosh. I mean, hundreds.
I was by 14. You'd read hundreds of books?
Yeah, I mean, you know, short books as a kid.
Such an overachiever, Sophie.
