We asked our authors from around the world to share their thoughts on why they write, why they read, and the books that have influenced them.
Here’s what they had to say.
Tell us why you read and share your favorite books! Join the discussion @HarperCollins on Twitter using #hc200.
Why I read: To escape the everyday in worlds that wildly creative people invite us into, and to expand the mind. Learning is a great joy. About life, people, ways of thinking. It such a wonderful thing to be taught by authors and to be shown the inner workings of their mind through the characters, stories, and environments they create.
