The TWR Bookshelf

We aim to inspire in you a lifetime pursuit of learning.  In an effort to do so, TWR is exclusively collecting top book list recommendations and a personal reason why it was recommended by famous, interesting and influential people.

Have a look around, stay in touch, leave comments, share with friends.  This read's on us.


We're constantly working to make finding the best book easiest for you.  Either find books by each booklist contributor or search by the entire list.
