TTT: A Strange Collection of Books -- All have the word WORLD somewhere in the title

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with WORLD in the title

This is a strange collection of books. The only two things they have in common: 1. They all have WORLD in the title and 2. I've read and liked them.

Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World by Tracy Kidder


News of the World by Paulette Jiles


The Disappearing Spoon: And Other Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean


Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann


Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad


Brave New World by Aldous Huxley


Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain


The Known World by Edward P. Jones


Wild Maps for Curious Minds: 100 New Ways to see the Natural World by Mike Higgins


How to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope edited by James Crews


Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and Biggest Funeral in the History of the World by Anthony Doerr


Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson


Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne


A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage


Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork


Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates


Dreaming the Beatles: The Love Story of One Band and the Whole World by Rob Sheffield


Spooked!: How a Radio Broadcast and "The War of the Worlds" Sparked the 1938 Invasion of America by Gail Jarrow (I just realized I've never actually read The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, just a book about the reaction to its radio broadcast.)


I told you this list was made up of unrelated books. 
How'd I do finding such different books with WORLD in the title?
