I'm currently travelling until the end of May, in the meantime, the Weekly Filet Book Club will keep you busy. Every other week, you'll get five book recommendations, a selection of the dozens of recommendations submitted by subscribers of the Weekly Filet. The Weekly Filet will be back to normal in June.
«Filters Against Folly» by Garrett Hardin
When measured as a proportion of total pages (233), it is without a doubt the most dog-eared and highlighted book I own. It's an insightful, accessible field guide for clear thinking about everything from science to ecology to politics to economics. – Mark Mulvey

«A Little Life» by Hanya Yanagihara
«If you're not a socialist at 20, you have no heart.» I'd like to add: If you read «A Little Life» and manage not to cry, you probably don't have a heart either. The German edition has just been published, and I bought three copies and sent them to my friends. They have to read this book. – Simon Hurtz

Essays on life and everything by a man who has shown that he knows a thing or two about the present - by writing about the future. Critical, but empathic in his thinking and sober in his writing style. – Thomas Pfluger
