Zuckerberg founds online book club

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has launched an online book club and is being described as ‘this generation’s version of Oprah’, reports TechCrunch. Zuckerberg created the Facebook group page ‘A Year of Books’ after earlier posting on his Facebook page that he will read one book every two weeks in 2015. More than 100,000 Facebook users joined the book club group page within two days, and the first book Zuckerberg chose to read—The End of Power: From Boardrooms to Battlefields and Churches to States, Why Being in Charge Isn’t What It Used to Be (Moises Naim, Basic Books)—has reportedly sold out in paperback on Amazon.
