It’s time to pick back up on my countdown to the top 100 books of all time. I am an American, so most of the book authors I know live in America or wrote a story pertaining to the States. I tried my best to include the best authors and books from all over the world. I did not intentionally discriminate any country, author, or book title in determining the top 100 books.
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Perhaps you have read this book or seen the movie For Whom the Bell Tolls. This story took place in Spain during the early days of World War II. You can see the brave American Gary Cooper trying to help Ingrid Bergman and her group of Spanish fighters in the movie. The movie was done in a way that Ernest Hemingway approved of and he did have a voice in this classic movie. This was due to the fact, Ernest Hemingway is the author of For Whom the Bell Tolls. Most book worms have read this classic story or saw the movie that featured a lot of big time Hollywood actors and actresses, as everyone in Hollywood back then wanted to be a part of this great Hemingway novel. No big surprise to see Cooper get the leading role, as he and Hemingway were big time buddies and even hunted together. This is just one of the classic novels that will appear on the countdown in this list of 20 books from the top 100 books in the world.

There is 20 more great books and some even classics that are no longer in the running for the top book of all time. If you didn’t recognize too many of my first 40 selections of books I chose to be on the countdown; then I know you had to know some of these titles from my top 100 book list. There are some really popular books in this grouping and it’s only going to get tougher for me; as I try to narrow the field down to only 40 more books. You can imagine the number of books that have been written over the years. Now I must try to find and locate the 40 best books of all time. Since I have already named the first 60 books and have their special number already marked on my top 100 titles the world and even the Internet has ever seen!
If you have missed out on some of my earlier choices; then you can go back and see which book titles I have already called out. I started out with my list of books from 91 – 100, I then did 10 more famous books from 81 – 100, and after that I tried to speed it up a little more and did my list of popular books from 61 – 80. Once you have viewed those forty top 100 books, you can just see my choices here for the next 20 great books on my book list.
