I fear the work of the reading could be less fun than the idea of it when tying it to a theme, so it might be best to focus on being entertained first. You could try reading books by as many people from Red Dwarf as you can be bothered to, e.g. a Robert Lewellyn novel, a Tony Hawks wacky caper, trying to pick ones that didn’t look boring.
Then again, setting myself stupid reading challenges led to me discovering one of my favourite writers (Rhys Hughes’ The Smell of Telescopes when reading a book for each of the five senses), so it can work out.

Yes, good point, I definitely don’t want to engineer the fun out of reading just to fit the challenge! Maybe I’ll drop the idea of sticking to episode order, and allow a bit more flexibility. I like the idea of reading books by people involved with the show! So many ideas, I feel a spreadsheet coming on…

I’m honoured that you remember MAMOTFALLOEEORD fondly!
Hall of fame status for sure.

Agreed! It was iconic
