Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President by Justin A. Frank. According to the book jacket flap, Frank is a clinical professor of psychiatry at George Washington University.

Some of the Freudian and Kleinian psychology he cites is, in my opinion, dated and/or over the top, but it's interesting. Dr. Frank is, to the best of his ability, psychoanalyzing G.W. Bush based on Bush's public comments, his family's comments about him, etc.

Just finished "Don't Lean Out The Window: A European Misadventure" by Stewart Ferris and Paul Bassett, which I thought was quite entertaining. It's an easy read, with plenty of humour, describing three young musicians' journey around Europe.
I'm now starting "A Year In The Merde" by Stephen Clarke.

"Rat Scabies & the Holy Grail" by Christoher Dawes.

Perhaps the only book about a quest for the fabled treasure of Berenger Sauniere that will have you laughing out loud. Scabies, former drummer of "the Damned", moves in across the street from music jounalist Dawes, and sucks him into his interest in the search for the treasure, suspected by many to be the Holy Grail. Much hilairty & road trips in cheese vans ensue. And i'm only on chapter 4.
