"In If My Dogs Were a Pair of Middle-Aged Men, Matthew Inman imagines, to hilarious effect, what life would be like if his dogs were a couple of old men running around his house"--Amazon.

Le runner court. Il sue. Il aime ça. Il déteste ça. Il court si dur et si longtemps que ses ongles de pieds finissent par tomber. Il se demande pourquoi ? Pourquoi il s''inflige un tel calvaire ? Cette question, tous les gens qui pratiquent la course à pied se la sont posée un jour... Matthew Inman, alias The Oatmeal, tente d''y répondre avec humour au travers de cet ouvrage qui tourne au fil des pages à la douce folie, voire au pur délire. Il n''est pas ici uniquement question de running mais aussi de gloutonnerie, d''orgueil, d''égoïsme et d''agonie.
