I changed course and am about a quarter of the way through With the Lightnings. So far, it's okay. The main character feels a lot like Dudley Moore's Arthur in space, but not quite so useless. Given that there are several more books about him, and that the series doesn't appear to be comedy, I'm hoping that he'll change his ways before the end of the book. If that's the plan, I can accept it as necessary that we see the "before" persona as a baseline to show his growth. Still lots of pages left for story and character development, after all...
Finally finished that - which was okay but didn't knock my socks off - and dipped briefly into Lavie Tidhar's The Bookman before noticing that the punctuation needs to be smartened - which probably extends to the other two books in the trilogy as well. So, while I dither on which prose novel to start next, I'm oscillating between the back half of the Spider-Man Clone Saga (Ben Reilly V2 of 6) and reading subtitles on The West Wing (just started season 3 of 7 and may finish the series before Election Day at this pace).

It's a little surreal to be juggling three White House narratives in my head at the same time, particularly when the nonfiction one is the most bizarre. At least The West Wing and Designated Survivor make sense...
