Fans of comedy, especially British comedy, may find both the title of this book--Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour Of America--and its author strike a bell. Eric Idle is an ex-Python, humorist, and explorer of comedy around the world: in Greedy Bastard Diary he and his nine men traverse America visiting Gore Vidal and the common man alike, enjoying stand-up comedy, and celebrating being part of an American family and British comedy alike. Especially recommended for prior fans of Monty Python's unique brand of humor.
