— -- When it comes to billionaires and book clubs, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg, like Oprah Winfrey, also has a magic touch.

Zuckerberg's goal for 2015 is to read one new book every other week and discuss it with fellow readers on his "A Year of Books" Facebook page.

It seems Zuck has the Midas touch. His first book club read, "The End of Power" by Moisés Naím, was already listed as "temporarily out of stock" on Amazon Monday afternoon, just three days after the Facebook CEO named it his first read of the year. It was back in stock this evening.

The 26 books Zuckerberg chooses this year will focus on "learning about new cultures, beliefs, histories and technologies," according to his page.

The tech titan takes on an ambitious personal challenge every year. In previous years, he has tackled everything from learning Mandarin to writing thank you notes.
