RD audiobooks

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

(Here I come wearing out my welcome once again. Ah, well ...)

I bring up the audiobooks for Red Dwarf because that's sort of what got me back into this show, and into this fandom. My sister gave me her old Zune and on it she had bought and loaded "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers." At first I just listened to it during long drives because it passed the time and I remembered liking the show and the books; it was, of course, entertaining, and I completely ignored who was reading it until my sister mentioned it to me near the end of my first listening. ("Wow, Rimmer does voices?")

So I've listened to it a few times. She also managed to secure the other three books for me to upload to the Zune to listen to (although I think "Better Than Life" is abridged; it's the radio show Chris read, with all the sound effects done for him instead of him having to simulate his own vomit and disco music, LOL). I just finished BTL and have a couple of observations (if they've been made before here, forgive me; as I said, I'm a clueless n00b).

Any of you who've listened to the audiobook/read the book - your thoughts on the Rimmer/Lister dynamic (present or just alluded to one-sided)? What about the other audiobooks?
