    I've read these book numerous times. I'm halfway through the last book and can safely say that they do not lose their appeal over time. I think it helps I was a big fan of the TV series, so I visualize the book using the TV show as reference and for me it really brings it all to life. If like comedy Sci-Fi I would highly recommend these books.

    I bought the complete Red Dwarf series on DVD not that long ago, boosted by the rave reviews the series still get today. Having watched a couple of episodes, I haven't been able yet to get into it myself though. Maybe because one of the main actors puts me off, or maybe I just need to stick with it a bit longer...

    The Red Dwarf TV show, is a strange entity, its comedy sci fi by but doesn't lean one way or the others, it mixes both equally. the first season takes a while to get into. I hope you stick with it and enjoy it, as IMO it get just kept getting better.

    In relation to the books, although they have elements from the TV show and the characters, they are very different.

    I Pass Like Night, by Jonathan Ames

    When Alexander Vine finishes his work day, he leaves his post as a doorman at Manhattan's exclusive Four Seasons restaurant -- and enters a nighttime landscape of chance and danger, excitement and reinvention in the city's erotic underworld. Walking a tightrope between sexual desire and self-extinction, Alexander Vine charts his destructive course -- and his struggle for redemption -- with startling, unadorned clarity.
