Speed Reading — Level 4 — 400 wpm 

This is the text (if you need help).

Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has started perhaps the world's largest book club. His New Year's resolution was to read a book every other week. He invited his 30 million followers to do the same. He will announce his latest read on a special Facebook page and ask people to discuss the book with him. He explained that: "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….The trend towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply." Zuckerberg starts a new challenge every year to broaden his way of thinking. An earlier task was to learn to speak Mandarin, which he did.
