Now Samantha and Roman must decide what they really want. They came to Tobago to find themselves, but could finding each other be what they needed all along?

Until I Met You - Written and Read by Amber Rose Gill

Future

Cyber City

It could have been so much worse: a deeply reported, insider story of how a handful of  Washington officials staged a daring resistance to an unprecedented presidency and prevented chaos overwhelming the government and the nation.

  Each federal employee takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic,” but none had imagined that enemy might be the Commander-in-Chief.  With the presidency of Donald Trump, a  fault line between the president and vital forces within his government was established.  Those who honored their oath of office, their obligation to the Constitution, were wary of the president and they in turn were not trusted and occasionally fired and replaced with loyalists.  

American Resistance is the first book to chronicle the unprecedented role so many in the government were forced to play and the consequences of their actions during the Trump administration. From Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his brother Yevgeny, to  Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, to Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, and the official who first called himself “Anonymous”—Miles Taylor, among others, Rothkopf examines the resistance movement that slowly built in Washington. Drawing from first hand testimonies, deep background and research, American Resistance shows how when the President threatened to run amok, a few key figures rose in defiance. It reveals the conflict within the Department of Justice over actively seeking instances of election fraud and abuse to help the president illegally retain power, and multiple battles within the White House over the influence of Jared and Ivanka, and in particular the extraordinary efforts to get them security clearances even after they were denied to them.   

David Rothkopf chronicles how each person came to realize that they were working for an administration that threatened to wreak havoc – one Defense Secretary was told by his mother to resign before it was too late – in an intense drama in which a few good men and women stood up to the tyrant in their midst.

American Resistance by David Rothkopf Read by David Rothkopf - Audiobook Excerpt

&quot;IRRESISTIBLE!&quot; --The Boston Globe Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide (&quot;A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have&quot;) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel! &quot;[A] WHIMSICAL ODYSSEY...Characters frolic through the galaxy with infectious joy.&quot; --Publishers Weekly Available for purchase at: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0804191859?tag=pgus-20">Amazon - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?ISBSRC=Y&ISBN=9780804191852&cm_mmc=Random%20House-_The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">Barnes & Noble - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-10876509?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&url=http://www.booksamillion.com/p/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy/Douglas+Adams/9780804191852">Books A Million - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780804191852?aff=PenguinGroupUS">IndieBound - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780804191852?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852">Powell's - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&subid=&offerid=183959.1&type=10&tmpid=273&u1=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-ng.do%3F&RD_PARM2=search_query%3D9780804191852%2526ic%3D16_0%2526Find%3DFind%2526search_constraint%3D3920">Walmart - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?term=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy&entity=audiobook&at=11l3IH&ct=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Apple - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?url=http://www.audible.com/search?advsearchKeywords=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy+Douglas+Adams&source_code=COMA0213WS031709&SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-11117375?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">downpour - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">eMusic - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>

Simon Sinek, Your Why Vs The Company's Why & Always Being Yourself | #AskGaryVee Episode 226

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &bull; Wild, dangerous, and flat-out unbelievable, here is the incredible memoir of the actor, gambler, raconteur, SNL veteran, and one of the best stand-up comedians of all time. &#160; As this book&rsquo;s title suggests, Norm Macdonald tells the story of his life&mdash;more or less&mdash;from his origins on a farm in the-back-of-beyond Canada and an epically disastrous appearance on Star Search&#160;to his account of auditioning for Lorne Michaels and his memorable run as the anchor of&#160;Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live&mdash;until he was fired because a corporate executive didn&rsquo;t think he was funny.&#160;But Based on a True Story is much more than a memoir; it&rsquo;s the hilarious, inspired epic of Norm&rsquo;s life. &#160; In dispatches from a road trip to Las Vegas (part of a plan hatched to regain the fortune he&rsquo;d lost to sports betting and other vices) with his sidekick and enabler, Adam Eget, Norm recounts the milestone moments, the regrets, the love affairs, the times fortune smiled on his life, and the times it refused to smile. As the clock ticks down, Norm&rsquo;s debt reaches record heights, and he must find a way to evade the hefty price that&rsquo;s been placed on his head by one of the most dangerous loan sharks in the country. &#160; As a comedy legend should, Norm peppers these pages with classic jokes and fondly mythologized Hollywood stories. This wildly adventurous, totally original, and absurdly funny saga turns the conventional &ldquo;comic&rsquo;s memoir&rdquo; on its head and gives the reader an exclusive pass into the mad, glorious mind of Norm Macdonald. Praise for Based on a True Story &#160; &ldquo;Norm is brilliant and thoughtful and there is sensitivity and creative insight in his observations and stories. A lot of comics over the years have been compared to Mark Twain, but I think Norm is the only one who actually matches the guy in terms of his voice and ability. I seriously f**king love Norm Macdonald. Please buy his book. He probably needs the cash. He&rsquo;s really bad with money.&rdquo;&mdash;Louis C.K., from the foreword &#160; &ldquo;Norm is one of my all-time favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot how lonely I was for a while.&rdquo;&mdash;Amy Schumer &#160; &ldquo;I always thought Normie&rsquo;s stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But this book gives it a run for its money.&rdquo;&mdash;Adam Sandler &#160; &ldquo;Norm is one of the greatest stand-up comics who&rsquo;s ever worked&mdash;a totally original voice. His sense of the ridiculous and his use of juxtaposition in his writing make him a comic&rsquo;s comic. We all love Norm.&rdquo;&mdash;Roseanne Barr &#160; &ldquo;Norm Macdonald makes me laugh my ass off. Who is funnier than Norm Macdonald? Nobody.&rdquo;&mdash;Judd Apatow &#160; &ldquo;Norm Macdonald is more than a triple threat&mdash;he&rsquo;s a septuple threat. He is smart, funny, wry, rakish, polite, rakish . . . no, wait. He is polite, insightful, and . . . aaaaah . . . warm. No. He&rsquo;s exciting. Yeah. Exciting! You never know what he&rsquo;ll do. Okay, then make that unpredictable. Add that up. He&rsquo;s amazing.&rdquo;&mdash;Alec Baldwin &#160; &ldquo;Norm only has to grunt to make me laugh. And this book is three hundred pages? Sign me up.&rdquo;&mdash;Sophia Amoruso, author of #GIRLBOSS &#160; &ldquo;Norm is a double threat. His material and timing are both top-notch, which is unheard of. He is one of my favorites, both on- and off-stage.&rdquo;&mdash;Dave Attell &#160; &ldquo;David Letterman said it best: There is no one funnier than Norm Macdonald.&rdquo;&mdash;Rob Schneider

Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald, read by Norm Macdonald, Tim O'Halloran

The final work from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning writer, actor, and musician, drawn from his transformative last days &#160; In searing, beautiful prose, Sam Shepard&rsquo;s extraordinary narrative leaps off the page with its immediacy and power. It tells in a brilliant braid of voices the story of an unnamed narrator who traces, before our rapt eyes, his memories of work, adventure, and travel as he undergoes medical tests and treatments for a condition that is rendering him more and more dependent on the loved ones who are caring for him. The narrator&rsquo;s memories and preoccupations often echo those of our current moment&mdash;for here are stories of immigration and community, inclusion and exclusion, suspicion and trust. But at the book&rsquo;s core, and his, is family&mdash;his relationships with those he loved, and with the natural world around him. Vivid, haunting, and deeply moving, Spy of the First Person takes us from the sculpted gardens of a renowned clinic in Arizona to the blue waters surrounding Alcatraz, from a New Mexico border town to a condemned building on New York City&rsquo;s Avenue C. It is an unflinching expression of the vulnerabilities that make us human&mdash;and an unbound celebration of family and life.

The Bars Brothers - Kill The Bass In Jamaican

Isle Of Flowers

An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own—a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like “the best laid schemes o’mice an’ men,” begin to go awry.

Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, “a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands.” A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Steinbeck’s tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America’s most widely read and beloved novels.
