    About this audiobook

    Following his New York Times bestselling classics comes this sparkling account of the joys of sharing the simple pleasures of life from Jimmy Carter.

    In this wonderfully evocative volume, Jimmy Carter writes about the things that matter most, the simple relaxed days and nights that he has enjoyed with family and friends through the years and across the generations.

    Here are lively, witty accounts of exploring the outdoors with his father and with black playmates; making furniture; painting; pursuing new adventures and going places with children, grandchildren, and friends; and sharing life with his wife, Rosalynn.

    Sharing Good Times is an inspirational guide for anyone desiring to stretch mind and heart and to combine work and pleasure.

      Pretty basic book about the life of former President Jimmy Carter and his family. That being a former President comes with really cool perks. It is not a hard hitting book but does pull back the curtain a little on what a former President does after leaving the office.
    • 3/5
      Jimmy Carter was president back in the years when I really didn't take much interest in who was leading our country. I was in elementary school and honestly don't think I cared much for him, mostly because I thought he had a funny southern accent, which seems very superficial of me, even as a kid. Nowadays, I wish I'd paid more attention. I think he was one of the good guys and it's a shame we can't say that about most of our political leaders these days. I've not read any of Carter's other memoirs, although he has apparently written quite a few. I didn't really know much about his personal life, other than the peanut farming business, so it was nice to get some background and learn some personal information. But as a memoir, and as a book in general, the only word that really comes to mind when reading this, was that it was very "dry." Perhaps it was because Jimmy himself read the audio & maybe another reader could've given it a little more life. Or maybe not. I'm not sure. Overall, a fairly interesting and informative memoir, but definitely not the best I've read.

      Nice stories, but jumped around, and did a little political bashing, I could have done without. Some stories were repeates from other books
