    Gleim CMA Review, Part 1

    #412636

    A Memory of Light, the 14th and final book of the Wheel of Time. Followed by Game of Thrones.

    I had just started reading A Memory of Light when I decided to start studying for the exam instead. I started the series in 2000, I guess what's another year?

    FAR - 86 12/13

    Outliers – The Secret of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. I had read it years ago but I read it again. Now I'm in the middle of Murder on the Orient Express by Dame Agatha Christie. I've read it thousand times but I love Agatha Christie!

    I started studying just before I finished Fall of Giants by Ken Follett, so I'll read the last 80 or so pages before moving on to Winter of the World.

    Those of you looking to begin A Song of Ice and Fire: two books still remain in the series and George R.R. Martin is an excruciatingly slow writer. We could very well still be 10 years away from the conclusion.

    You've been warned.

    Think and Be Rich, I was about halfway through when this last test started and I had to quit reading. I'm going to finish that and then move on to the CMA.

    @Kricket,Outliers is brilliant choice I have listened to all of Malcom Gladwells (MG) books and read some. I think the audible version is way better because some points come across. Sometimes when I read I miss a couple of things. Besides MG has a soothing voice and he reads all his books. I would listen to him at work, in my car, home while doing chores and at the gym. In between my non existent social life.

    I can't wait to listen to 500 days of summer, Black Dagger Brotherhood again, Henning Mankell (White Lioness), some psychological warfare books (that list is extensive) as you can tell my favorite subject. I have listened to Justin Cronin – The Passage Trilogy, now I am going to read it (I thought the audio books were fantastic). I am convinced he made a deal with the devil because that's been the best writing I have listened to in ages. When the last book comes out hopefully I will be done with the CPA exam.

    My favorite part in the second book The Twelve. When Last Stand Denver aka Kittridge is fleeing his stronghold in a Ferrari. Classic movie scene, I would be gutted if they removed that scene when they make the books into movies or miniseries.

    I have so many books to read, not enough hours in a day to read. I wish I was this much passionate about my CPA books.

    Cheers!!!
