Top 100 Books of All Time (91-100)

Posted on by

I have decided to create a book list like none other. After a long and extensive research process, I have assembled the 100 greatest book titles to ever grace a library shelf or a reader’s eyes. Everyone will know a lot of these books, since they’re the 100 most popular books of all time. Keep in mind that I am an American male, so the great authors living in other countries or who may be female, may not do so well on my list of the 100 greatest books ever. I have included everyone and didn’t purposely discriminate against any book authors. I do know who the greatest author in Norway is and I also hear that the story of Peter Rabbit was written by a woman. I just live in a part of the world where the American male literary figures stand out much more than a lot of the other authors who live in different countries or who may be women.

No two people will agree on the top 100 books of all time. So I fully understand if my 100 greatest books of all time, doesn’t match the 100 you would come up with. I think most will agree with my list on the books I do name and I couldn’t imagine anyone leaving off 50 percent or more of the book titles I am getting ready to unleash. I can’t name all 100 in just one blog post, so I will break it up and do 10 great books for each blog post. I will be sure to leave links behind as I go, so everyone can quickly navigate my blog here and find which books are getting named and which number is getting assigned to each one. I think these 100 books will be the greatest collection of books that no other blogger has ever put together before.

Naming the top 10 books of all time is really pretty easy. Deciding which books get listed from 11 to 100 is the tough part. So I will struggle to get these first 90 books named and in their proper order. Feel free at any time to agree or disagree with my rankings. You can even post your favorite books of all time and perhaps your comments will even influence which books I list on my top 100 books of all time. I welcome all comments (good or bad). I know fully well that no one person can speak for everyone and a blog or public forum would be boring if we all agreed on the same things. It’s the differences in opinion that make us unique and it’s also the way we learn. I hope I can offer something you can learn from me and I hope a few of you out there can teach me a thing or two about the greatest books ever written. Now with that said, I think it is time to unveil my greatest books list of all time.

100 – Peter Rabbit

99 – With the Old Breed

98 – The Draining Lake

97 – WiseGuy

96 –  Three Cups of Tea

95 – A Walk To Remember

94 – How the Mind Works

93 – The Hunger Games

92 – Carry On, Jeeves

91 – Snow Crash

The first 10 books have been named. Still have 90 more great books to mention. How many of these first 10 books on the list do you like or have read before? If you don’t see a book you like yet; then stick around. The best books and their authors have yet to be named. This was just the starting point of the greatest 100 books ever to be assembled on one blog!

Jeter Leaves Florida Still Hot

The New York Yankees looked good in spring training as they were preparing for the 2010 MLB season from Florida. After packing up their bags and heading north to the Big Apple, their shortstop Derek Jeter probably had little trouble finding a New York moving company to help assist him with the move. Especially now since the season is underway and the Yanks all star shortstop hasn’t came close to slowing down yet. His last game played he had a nice 3 hit day as the Yankees beat the Rangers on April 17th. The 4 games prior to this, Jeter had 2 hits in each of these games, giving him a 5 game hitting streak with multi-hits in each one. It’s impressive enough to have a 5 game hitting streak, but when a professional baseball player can do this streak in multi-hit fashion, it only adds to the arsenal of weapons this NY Yankee team can bring to the ballpark on any given day in Major League Baseball.

If anyone wants to question the 22.6 million dollars Derek Jeter will make this year. Just compare his numbers to other salaries in this range and see why this might be a bargain, in terms of MLB standards. I’m sure most if not all of the movers would be more than happy to assist Jeter with any moving troubles he may be having; while trying to get comfortable with living in New York City. As opposed to the warm weather his prior living arrangements were in the spring training complex; that houses the Yankees baseball team near Tampa Bay each year. Yes, Derek Jeter was already the toast of the town in New York, but after watching his fast start at the plate in the 2010 year, it’s time to start looking for the keys to the city and making sure this talented shortstop has an extra set.

The only people that could possibly oppose an award or show of gratitude for Derek Jeter, may be the cross town team and fans that root for the New York Mets baseball team. I think the rest of the country may finally have an interest in the Subway Series this year, so they can tune-in to watch number 2 swing this hot bat he’s currently displaying against opposing MLB pitchers.

Choosing Credit Cards wisely

In our review of credit card resources we were asked to review Small Business Credit Card services. At credit card search engine they offer a lot of resources on Identity Theft Protection, Choosing the right credit card, and many other useful articles for those of us who like to buy on credit. The site is geared to helping small businesses to find the right card that help them manage their business expenses.

Their article on choosing the right card was insightful. Like most of us we are bombarded with credit card offers weekly. I received one recently where they were offering 0% for 18 months on all purchases. WOW! That is free money I thought. Then after looking closely at the offer, you had to transfer a balance of at least $100. For most people, if you just do this, pay off the transfer amount first and then use the card you are fine. If you however, transfer a balance (which by the way the interest rate on the balance transfer is 13%) you have to pay off the lower APR balance first. Which in this case is your purchases. So, you transfer over $100, and then use the card as normal, you will only pay off the Higher APr, if you pay in full.

The 0 credit card is used for paying money and it is very convenient to use. The amex or American Express is the biggest credit card company in US and also in the entire world. Some credit card companies also offer the debt management facility with them. There are other facilities provided by the credit card company too, like life insurance. Another facility provided by the credit card company is that they give loan on easy and flexible conditions. The loans are given specially to banks and small business on easy conditions. The bank encourages the
customers to invest bank.
