The Greedy Bastard Diary

by Eric Idle

A witty exploration of the American landscape - not to mention a brilliant comic's mind - this diary is chock-full of everything you ever wanted to know about Eric Idle, Monty Python, America, and sleeping on a bus. In these pages the sixth nicest Python is cheeky, touching, and funny when recounting the riotous tales of his beginnings, his schooldays in a Dickensian academy for boys, and his affectionate reminiscences of fellow Pythons, traveling the world, and his longtime friend George Harrison.
