Are you referring to A Man Without A Country, or is there an even newer one that I'm not aware of?
If you are talking about that one, it's worth reading (and although short it manages to be alternately hilarious and sad) but anyone who has read a number of his books will recognize some of the material from his previous books. Although it contains new observations, for the most part it plays the same kind of role as a Greatest Hits album would. One of my former friends gave it to me as a gift, but read it beforehand, and said she liked it (but it was the only thing of his that she has read, and after reading it I wonder if she was just lying to make me happy, since I can't picture her reading any of his other books--and she hasn't since). The book was enjoyable to me partly because it referenced things he discussed in his other books, like Jailbird for instance.
