If it was the absurd and clever humor of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers—from Lister’s curry obsession to Rimmer’s neurotic schemes—that kept you laughing, you’ll love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Adams’ tale of Arthur Dent’s cosmic misadventures is packed with hilarious one-liners, surreal scenarios like the Babel fish, and a cast of delightfully odd characters. The wit and satire here make every page a joy.

If you enjoyed the odd-couple dynamic of Lister, Rimmer, Cat, and Kryten bumbling through space, you’ll adore Good Omens. The angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, along with a quirky supporting cast, must prevent the apocalypse while navigating their own eccentricities. Their banter and misadventures echo the camaraderie and chaos that make Red Dwarf so memorable.

If you liked following Lister’s laziness and Rimmer’s self-delusions—characters who rarely fit heroic molds—then Dirk Gently, a detective who cheats, lies, and stumbles through the supernatural, will be a new favorite. The book revels in the misadventures of an anti-hero whose questionable ethics somehow lead to hilarious results.

If it was the madcap, mission-driven antics—like Rimmer’s desperate attempts to pass his exams or the crew’s various get-rich-quick schemes—that drew you in, you’ll love The Stainless Steel Rat. Slippery conman Jim diGriz’s non-stop, fast-paced escapades across the galaxy are full of twists, humor, and wildly ambitious goals that never quite go as planned.

If you enjoyed the way Red Dwarf uses sci-fi as a playground for its characters—like Cat’s vanity or Holly’s senile computer logic—then Year Zero is a treat. It’s a comic romp through music copyright law and alien culture, focusing on quirky personalities and social satire rather than technical detail. The sci-fi is fun and accessible, always in service of the laugh.
