3. I was given Jimmy Carter's autobiography "A Full Life: Reflections at 90" for my birthday

A couple of years ago and recommend it highly. I have it on audio disc (read by the author ) and play it in my car whenever I have to to drive any distance. There are 7 or 8 discs, he really has lead a fascinating life, from his boyhood near Plains during the depression, to his Navy career, his first runs for state office, years as governor - I think it's disc #5 before he even gets to his run for president. And this is from 2014, so he also discusses his relationships with subsequent presidents and weighs in on the issues of the day. I've always admired him greatly, but I was pleased to realize how much I agree with him on pretty much everything. I've gone through it several times, but there's so much there that I always pick up something new and interesting.
