I had my own self-discovery of running many years ago, so in some way I feel like I'm drawn towards liking other people's experiences as well. The book is entertaining, but as a reader of his comics I felt a little disappointed that I had already read all the material on his website. (

Matthew Inman, aka as Oatmeal is well known for his humorous web site and numerous books. It turns out he is a pretty serious runner. And as a result wrote a book about running. As usual, there a laughs on almost every page, but there are also several pearls of true wisdom about why we run. A must read for anyone who runs. (

Decidedly, painfully unfunny. Low-effort art, minimal text, and jokes that consist of taking whatever item is trendy on the internet and making lolrandom!!1! strings of text. Non-sequiturs are only really funny if you are 5 years old. When it can't come up with a Family Guy-style cutaway that is tailored to the transitory interests of nerds, it relies on tired stereotypes that have been done to death by better writers. Avoid. (

Matt Inman thinks exactly the same I do about running, was nodding along throughout. I've definitely had similar epiphanies but wouldn't be able to express it so eloquently or amusingly.

Anyone tempted to start should read this book - like him, I run to eat. I love consuming food that's bad for me, I don't want to look like a beached whale. Hence I go outside and run for an hour or so every couple of days. It works. If your new year resolution was to get started or to lose a few pounds, pick this up - quietly inspiring whilst never being out of reach. If I can run a marathon you can too. (
