A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety
by Jimmy Carter
As the title suggests, A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety is Jimmy Carter’s memoir written towards the end of it and with the benefit of hindsight. It’s short (less than 250 pages) and contains many of the highlights. Born in a house without running water or electricity, Carter would go on to join the US Navy, but gave it up to run the family farm. He started off in Georgia’s state senate (1963-7), then became governor (1970-75) before becoming the Democratic nominee for president in 1976.
