Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg starts reading program
- warrenmar 12y agoI've been trying to read one book a week since 2013 (http://warrenmar.wordpress.com/book-of-the-week/ http://warrenmar.wordpress.com/book-of-the-week/). I think everyone should try it. I never read that much when I was in school, but now I really enjoy it.

- paulhauggis 12y agoI have an e-book reader on my phone and it makes all the difference. Any time I have a little extra time to kill, I can read a book instead of playing games. I can read a book a week pretty easily like this. I forgot how much I enjoyed it.
- warrenmar 12y agoMy local library lets me check out e-books too. It is very convenient.
- paulhauggis 12y ago"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, militaries and other organizations," Zuckerberg wrote. "The trend toward giving people more power is one I believe in deeply." Well, as coming from a billionaire that now has (potential) power over many people, I'm not surprised at his choice of book. What's next, why China is great? Call me cynical, but I feel like many of the books that he will choose are done so to sway groups of people to align with his political beliefs rather than just a fun read to expand your mind.
- paulhauggis 12y agoso differing opinions get down voted now? Children behind a keyboard.
