What are Mark Zuckerberg's favorite books?

"The Aeneid" by Virgil

Mark first read the Aeneid while he was studying Latin in high school, and he recounted the story of Aeneas's quest and his desire to build a city that, he said, quoting the text in English, "knows no boundaries in time and greatness." At one of the product meetings, Zuckerberg also quoted some lines from the Aeneid.

Most schoolchildren know the basics of the Trojan horse, but Virgil outlines all of the intriguing details of myth and legend. While Virgil is no longer around to rejoice at his work's placement on numerous book lists, this unfinished epic poem is still worth a read after nearly 2,000 years of translations.

"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card

Mark Zuckerberg listed this book as the only one on his Facebook profile.
