Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has launched what could be the world's largest book club. Zuckerberg said last week that his New Year's resolution was to read a book every other week. He invited his 30 million followers to join him in this pursuit. He created a Facebook page called A Year of Books, on which he will announce his latest read is and ask people to discuss the book with him. He explained: "I've found reading books very intellectually fulfilling. Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today."

Zuckerberg already has his first book, 'The End of Power' by Moises Naim. He explained: "It's a book that explores how the world is shifting to give individual people more power that was traditionally only held by large governments, militaries and other organizations. The trend towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply." Zuckerberg takes on a challenge every year as a way to broaden his way of thinking and learn more about the world, different cultures, beliefs, histories and technologies. An earlier task was to learn to speak Mandarin, which he did.
