'The Tao of Bill Murray' by Gavin Edwards

The Tao of Bill Murray, Gavin Edwards (3.0)

This is an interesting little book for any big Bill Murray fan. The book consists of many stories (mostly told second hand) of Murray antics and encounters throughout the years.  They vary from how he has not had a manager for many years so one is required to call a 1-800 number to reach him and hope for the best, to the many occasions which he has wondered into an event or joined a party unannounced (much to delight of the hosts). Mr. Edwards has taken the time to validate numerous rumors of this legendary crazy behavior. The last section of the book is a filmography with descriptions and critiques of each of Mr. Murray’s films. I wrote at least 3 down that I either wanted to re-watch or happened to have missed.  I should note that the book does not appear to be sanctioned by Mr. Murray, but the stories are not so earth-shattering to be doubted.
