The co- of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has launched what could be the world's ever book club. Zuckerberg announced last week that his New Year's was to read a book every week. He then invited his 30 million to join him in his literary . He created his own Facebook page called A Year of Books, on which he will announce what his latest read is and ask people to discuss the book with him. He explained the for his initiative in a post, saying: "I'm excited for my reading . I've found reading books very intellectually . Books allow you to explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today."

Zuckerberg has already selected his book, 'The End of Power' by Moises Naim. He explained: "It's a book that explores how the world is shifting to give people more power that was only held by large governments, and other organizations. The trend towards giving people more is one I believe in , and I'm looking forward to reading this book and exploring this in more ." Zuckerberg takes on a challenge every year as a way to broaden his and learn more about the world, different cultures, beliefs, and technologies. A task was to learn to speak Mandarin, which he has managed to do.
