At least with the other list I have read about 60 of these.
Really? I counted 39 of the 100 as French or from France. That is 39% of the total. Sorry, I could not even believe 10% of the top 100 books of the twentieth century were from France. So 39% from almost any single country by any measure is a somewhat biased view. No wrong, a very biased view. I am not faulting the list, just trying to show why it is what it is.
