About book The Terrible And Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (2014)

Hilarious! Visually arresting with many great phrases and one liners:"Just do it later" with the Nike Logo"carbon-based-meat-suit-cases" referring to our worries about our bodiesRunning is "like being able to smoke crack every day, but instead of getting strung out and arrested you get bananas and compliments"Energy gels are like "boob milk from a cyborg"And many more including a two-page layout on the "AssCORE 9000: making running suck since 1882" which rips on the treadmill. Fun stuff. I'm a big fan of the Oatmeal but this book is even better than his usual surrealists hyper-imaginative comics. No more killer cats and annoying dolphins in this one but the author's honest thoughts about the deep reasons he started running. I can't think of anyone who takes himself less seriously than Matthew Inman and yet who seems to have cracked so much of the essence of humanity's inner motives.
