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

Zuckerberg has already [selected / selection] his first book, 'The End of Power' by Moises Naim. He explained: "It's a book that [implores / explores] how the world is [shifting / sifting] to give individual people more power that was traditionally only [holding / held] by large governments, militaries and other organizations. The [trendy / trend] towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply, and I'm looking [backward / forward] to reading this book and exploring this in more [detailed / detail] ." Zuckerberg takes on a challenge every year as a way to [broaden / broad] his perspectives and learn more about the world, different cultures, [beliefs / belies] , histories and technologies. A previous task was to learn to speak Mandarin, which he has [managed / managing] to do.
