Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has taken a New Year resolution to read a book every two weeks this year wherein he has created a page on the social media website "A Year of Books" inviting 30 million users to like the page.

The reason why Zuckerberg started this page is because he believes that books are "intellectually fulfilling", reported the Verge.

He said that books allow people to go deeper inside a topic to explore it as compared to most media today.

So far, around 50,000 people have signed up to read "The End of Power" by Moises Naim.
