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.

What I love the most about writing is that it allows me to create my own world, filled with characters that fascinate me. So being between books can sometimes feel quite lonely—I only feel half-alive when I don’t have characters in my head, talking to me, making me laugh, and falling in love with each other!
