Mark Zuckerberg's book club boosts sales of first title

FACEBOOK CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started up his own online reading club, A Year of Books, with leadership overview The End Of Power by Moises Naim first on the list. Writing on his Facebook page, Zuckerberg outlined the challenge to read through one new book every fortnight, seeking out material that emphasizes “different cultures, beliefs, histories and technologies.”

“Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today,” he said, commending the book club's inaugural choice for its exploration of “how the world is shifting to give individual people more power that was traditionally only held by large governments, militaries and other organizations,” and citing the trend towards devolved power as “one which I believe in deeply.”
