I highly recommend "War on the Middle Class", by Lou Dobbs. It doesnt touch much on aviation but it really does give you an idea as to what the government is doing around you and to you. Sometimes its nice to see some things outside of aviation.
"Juiced" by Jose Canesco is also something I just got done reading. Its very poorly written, he is a terrible author, but you will laugh pretty hard at how extremely self indulgent Jose really is. It makes me think that we should test pilots for performance enhancing drugs, because why can 'Sully' fly soo damn well? Clearly all the Fedex and UPS pilots who have made it to the highest levels are also juicers. During pyschomotor skill portion of their interviews they must demonstrate rollerskating 14 miles backwards in 6 minutes then bench press an MD-11.
