Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min
As David Maraniss captures it with power and affection, Detroit summed up America's path to music and prosperity that was already past history. It's 1963, and Detroit is on top of the world. The city's leaders are among the most visionary in America: Henry Ford II, the grandson of the first Ford; influential labor leader Walter Reuther; Motown's founder, Berry Gordy; the Reverend C.L. Franklin and his daughter, the amazing Aretha; Governor George Romney, Mormon and civil rights advocate; super car salesman Lee Iacocca; Mayor Jerome Cavanagh, a Kennedy acolyte; Police Commissioner George Edwards; Martin Luther King. It was the American auto makers' best year; the revolution in music and politics was underway. Reuther's UAW had helped lift the middle class. The time was full of promise. The auto industry was selling more cars than ever before and inventing the Mustang. Motown was capturing the world with its amazing artists. The progressive labor movement was rooted in Detroit with the UAW. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech there two months before he made it famous in the Washington march. Once in a Great City shows that the shadows of collapse were evident even then. Before the devastating riot, before the decades of civic corruption and neglect and white flight; before people trotted out the grab bag of rust-belt infirmities and competition from abroad to explain Detroit's collapse. From high labor costs to harsh weather, one could see the signs of a city's ruin. Detroit at its peak was threatened by its own design. It was being abandoned by the new world. Yet so much of what Detroit gave America lasts.

Holidays in Heck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
P. J. O’Rourke is one of his generation’s most celebrated political humorists, hailed as “the funniest writer in America” by both Time and The Wall Street Journal. Twenty-three years ago he published the classic travelogue Holidays in Hell, in which he trotted the globe as a “trouble tourist,” a chaos rubberneck, sight-seeing at wars, rebellions, riots, political crises, and other monuments of human folly. After the Iraq War - “too old to keep being scared stiff and too stiff to keep sleeping on the ground” - he retired from what foreign correspondents call “being a s**thole specialist.” But he couldn’t give up traveling to ridiculous places, often with his wife and three young children in tow. Usually he was left wishing he were under artillery fire again. O’Rourke’s journeys take him to locales both near (and nearly bizarre) and far (and far from normal). Having made a joke that Ski magazine takes seriously, he winds up on a family ski vacation - to Ohio. The highest point of elevation is the six-foot ski instructor his wife thinks is cute. Convinced by an old friend and one too many drinks that “a horse trek is just backpacking on someone else’s back,” he finds himself (barely) in the saddle, crossing the mountains to a part of Kyrgyzstan so remote that the Kyrgyzs have never seen it. He visits Kabul for the food and conversation (excellent lamb chops and a droll after dinner story about the mullah and the cow). He even takes his kids to his erstwhile home away from home, the bar at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Hong Kong. “‘Would the little ones like something to eat?’ asked the waiter. They serve food at the FCC? Who knew?” Holidays in Heck shows P. J. O’Rourke in top form - a little older, a little wiser, going to the bathroom a little more often, but just as darkly funny as he was in Holidays in Hell. Here is a hilarious and often moving portrait of life in the fast lane, as he’s always lived it - only ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan John Miller.

There is plenty to get you worked up, and we promise not to tell. We’ll keep a blindfolded eye!Have a peek!I didn't know if I was supposed to respond. At this point, I was scared. It was a strange kind of fear, though, because it was fear mingled with excitement. I reached behind my back and pulled the bra off and just dropped it to the ground. Then I stared at him wide-eyed. He nodded a nod of approval.Then, he pulled me from the bench, pushed me down so I was suddenly on my hands and knees, and landed a spank on my ass. I barely registered what he did before he was in action again. It was amazing how quickly he got my jean shorts off and my panties along with them. Just like that, I was naked in front of him. It really hit me right then that I had only known Leo and Ezra for about a week. I'd never been naked in front of a man so quickly!But I was. I was naked in front of Ezra.“Oh God,” I said.His hand came down in a hard, hard spank on my ass. Pain shot through me and I felt stunned. “I said you're to speak only when spoken to.” God! The situation was suddenly terrifying but at the same time, I’d become extraordinarily horny. That made no sense at all because I didn't go for rough stuff! I didn't go for guys talking to me that way! But holy shit, I was so damned wet and so damned needy. My God! I wanted to be fucked so badly if they’d trotted in the ugliest guy on Earth, I would have spread my legs for him.Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity including bondage, domination, spanking, sex toys, submission, rough sex, and more.

Power Play
*A Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller* "A deeply reported and business-savvy chronicle of Tesla's wild ride." -Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review Power Play is the riveting inside story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car-from award-winning Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary; to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets; his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw opportunity. The gas-guzzling car was in need of disruption. They pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition. But as the saying goes, to make a small fortune in cars, start with a big fortune. Tesla would undergo a hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy-his antics more than once took the company he had initially funded largely with his own money to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three? Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds-and changed the future.- Shop: buecher

Riding My Neighbor's Stallion (eBook, ePUB)
Mrs. Richman asked me to watch her pinto stallion, Thunder, for the weekend while she was gone. I’d grown up around that stud and now that I was 18 I could be trusted around him. Or could I? It didn’t take long after she was gone before the large stallion grew frisky. Suddenly, I wondered what it would be like to touch it. I grew wet just thinking about it. What I found shocked me to my core. Excerpt: Thunder whinnied as he reared up, pulling me away from my thoughts. He was so proud of himself. I was caught up in his exuberant feelings as he pranced and played, just enjoying life. After he released some of his pent-up energy, he trotted toward me. "Are you feeling happy?" I stroked his velvety nose as he rubbed his head against me. Petting his face, neck and shoulders in the bright sunshine, I felt the power in his muscles and the energy that radiated from him. He pawed the ground and nickered as my lust grew. "You're a show off!" I threw back my head and laughed. It just felt so good to be with him. It was then that I noticed his excitement had grown. He must've been feeling particularly frisky as his massively-hung cock poked out of its sheath. Damn stallion was constantly horny! Something primitive stirred within me when I saw his big, thick and long cock. I swallowed and my mouth watered as curiosity stirred within me. I suddenly wanted to touch it. My body felt as if my internal thermostat had risen into an overpowering desire. My heart pounded in my ears and my female juices seeped out of my aching pussy. The need to touch his magnificent dick urged me to reach out shyly and stroke his hardening member. What am I doing? He's an animal! I should find a guy instead, I scolded myself. But when I saw his hardening cock, my animalistic desires exploded in me. Glancing around at the empty pasture, I made sure that we were alone. The last thing I needed was for some nosy neighbor to be peering over the gate, watching me stroke off a stallion. I ran my fingers over his strong long neck, his chest and powerful shoulders as he nuzzled my pert large breasts through my shirt. his lips tickled my neck and face as if he wanted to assure me that he was gentle. My clothes suddenly felt too warm as I stood beside him. Feeling his powerful muscles and inhaling his musky scent set my cunt ablaze. What I was about to do may be wrong but I just had to try it out. What did his cock feel like? And the size! I giggled just thinking about it.- Shop: buecher
